The Philippines and China’s tourism deal will provide “massive” employment opportunities and investments across all sectors of tourism in the country.
Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco said after signing the Implementation Program on Tourism Cooperation.
“This Implementation Program with China will generate massive employment opportunities and investments across all sectors of tourism throughout the Philippines,” Frasco said in a statement Thursday, Jan. 5. The Implementation Program seeks to achieve the objectives outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Philippines and China in September 2002.
Local tour operators and travel agencies, according to Frasco, will participate in the IP by jointly advertising both countries’ tourist offerings through promotional materials, highlighting significant attractions and destinations, and improving public information exchange.
