Yesterday I had the privilege to be part of DOT-PAL PHILINDEX at Hyatt Hotel, Manila. It was attended by BUYERS from INDIA. PACEOS presented to this buyers from INDIA.

The event is simple yet meaningful for our tourism stake at India. Last year, we have over 300,000 visitors from India. However, data shows that there are around 14 Million tourists from India that roam around the world. We must therefore capture a sizeable amount to this big market.

Events like yesterday are a positive sign for our tourism industry. I am happy that PAL now has trips from India to Manila and vice versa. This augurs well and hopefully contributes positively to the economic progress of our country.
