"I enjoin our tourism stakeholders to work with other industry leaders to invest in medical tourism, heritage tourism, retirement havens, entertainment spots, open-space recreation, and more community-based travel destinations," Duterte said during the Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE) Conference 2023 held in Davao City.
Vice President Sara Duterte urged tourism stakeholders on Friday to increase investments in sector-specific tourism amenities to "diversify the country's opportunities and potentially increase industry revenue streams."
Duterte, who served as mayor of Davao City, shared how the city also hosted the MICECON event 10 years ago and reinforced Davao City's position as a "major player and attractive destination in the conventions and exhibits industry."
