Warm greetings to the students and faculty of the College of

Tourism Management of the International School of Asia and the

Pacific (ISAP) as you hold your 7th Annual National Tourism
Convention in Boracay-Pampanga, Philippines on March 11-16,
2019.

The Philippines has been blessed with over 7,000 islands with the
happiest group of individuals enjoying the wonders of nature.
Tourism has likewise been on an all-time high with the influx of
tourists from Asia, America and Europe wanting to experience our
world-class beaches and various tourist spots. Thus, the tourism
industry is beaming with opportunities and possibilities for our
Filipino students and workforce.

We need the dynamism and enthusiasm of young students like you

to bring innovation and development in an increasingly creative
industry. We must utilize events such as this convention to further
our knowledge and management skills in preparation for the
tourism sector revitalization that the government is embarking on.

It is my fervent hope that your convention raises creative ideas that

will help us promote and enhance the beauty that is only seen in
the Philippines. Mabuhay!
