CEBU CITY, Philippines — Tourism stakeholders need to make adjustments to the new normal if they intend to bring back tourists to Cebu.
These properties have been used to house business process outsourcing employees and overseas Filipino workers under a 14-day quarantine, Reyes said. However, these have been operating on skeletal staff and charging rates just enough to sustain operations, he added. Saravu noted that Cebu’s top tourist market such as Korea, China, and Japan have started to recover from the pandemic. Also, travelers would prefer shorter hauls or trips so the change in their preference would benefit the Philippines as far as its neighboring countries are concerned.
Since social distancing will be observed, he said, they will have to make some adjustments such as putting up Plexiglas sheet at the counters and urging airlines to encourage passengers to use online check-in to limit contact with the ground crew. She added that those engaged in tourist bus and vans businesses have to agree to common sanitation standards and properly communicate this to assure tourists and make them feel safe.
