STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS

To our highly respected guests, Mr. John Christopher Laron, Miss
Roxane Ducusin, and to other guests who attended, ladies and
gentlemen, good afternoon.
I am here in front of you to talk about the Department of
Tourism (DOT) Sector. First, the Department of Tourism is responsible
for the country’s development in the tourism industry. Its goal is to
promote growth and increase opportunities in tourism, contributing to
job generation and poverty alleviation in rural areas.
Over the years, the Philippines has earned a negative and
unfair reputation in the international tourism community for being
poor and precarious. Pollution in the area is also a concern. These
problems are not unique to the Philippines. Tourism challenges include
taxes, travel facilitation, safety, infrastructure and cross-border
legislation.
To solve our problems about Department of Tourism that they are
facing, we can promote tourism throughout a variety of times,
including off-season, in addition to the busiest times. Design
entirely new travel plans and tourist destinations. Reexamine and
enhance regulations, such as denying traffic access to some
overcrowded areas. Attract travelers who are more responsible.
It’s been a pleasure being with all of you this afternoon.
Thank you for listening and I appreciate everyone’s presence. It has
been an honor to be among such accomplished people and to be able to
share my viewpoint with you all. Once again, thank you.
