The Department of Tourism (DoT) urges every Filipino to imbibe in themselves the 'Its Fun to be in the Philippines' campaign to boost tourists attractions in the country.
DoT Regional Director Helen Catalbas said that Filipinos should be friendly to both foreign and local tourists coming to their respective provinces especially in Western Visayas region.
"If we fail in our campaign, we then become funny instead of being fun and we do not want it to happen," said Catalbas.
Reports said that the DoT Central Office and the national government is investing P74 billion for tourism infrastructures through their National Tourism Development Plan. It aims to lure 12 million foreign tourists by 2016.
"The influx of tourists also contributes to our over all economy which also helps alleviate poverty," said Catalbas.
Catalbas hopes to make Western Visayas including Boracay a premier tourism destination in the country.
