WHAT DESTINATION THEME DO YOU THINK IS FIT FOR MANILA’S TOURISM

CIRCUIT?

Owing to the various places to visit in Manila like churches and historical

monuments and places, the city is also called the 'Rome of the East'. But the city has

more than just history; there are beautiful parks, amusement parks, and other tourist

attractions that are to be explored. It is more likely to become a historical and

traditional destination since the tourist attractions that are available to visit shows

what culture Manila city has.

According to Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso, He said that

He would create a “tourism circuit” for Manila to serve as the heritage trail that linked

the historic walled city of Intramuros to the National Museum, Rizal Park, Binondo,

and other heritage sites in the capital. He is looking toward the improvement of a

Travel industry Circuit that would connect these famous attractions across the city.

The city of Manila is concurrently developing a tourism circuit that will link its major

heritage sites in a bid to revive its lost glory.

Furthermore, the theme of the destination that I think is best for Manila

tourism is that it maintains the theme of sustainable urban heritage alongside the

historical theme. Together with Rizal Park, National Museum and Binondo,

Intramuros aims to preserve and enhance the city's heritage as 'Manila's Tourist

Circuit' with a target theme. Without harming or minimal harm to the environment,

communities, socio-culture, and other related issues as we all know that

sustainability has always been closely related to tourism. We must always think of

ways to maximize our contribution and profits. Urban heritage is like a boundary
between change and preservation. As the capital city of the Philippines, Manila sees

an ever-changing modern environment, threatened by devastation from

development. On the other hand, Manila has a hidden historical cultural heritage

whose historical value should be protected and preserved.

Manila has been in the process of restoring and improving a lot of historical

sites and establishments in hoping to boost its tourism and bringing back the beauty

and wander Tourism theme that would really fit for Manila. It can attract not only the

local residence, but international tourists also may be stand in awe if it is continually

to restore. Though “Manila has been stagnant for so many years,” the country will

ride the momentum set forth by mayor Domagoso in his commitment to develop

tourism, which includes cleaning the city’s main thoroughfares and shopping districts

of garbage and illegal peddlers.

To sum up, these famous attractions are connected to each other and if they

gain restoration, the tourist arrival in the country will increase and it is beneficial for

the country. These attractions must be preserved, exist until the next generation,

appreciate, and take care of the unique beauty of its sites and infrastructure. We

must be guided and aware to help the place and preserve it for the next generation

that will generate income and make our country a historic and old but beautiful place.
