A possible tourism collaboration between the Philippines and the US is now being eyed, following US Ambassador to the Philippines Marykay Carlson's courtesy visit to the head office of the Department of Tourism (DOT) in Makati City. ManilaBulletin
In a statement released on Friday, March 24, the DOT disclosed that Carlson's meeting with Tourism Secretary Christina G. Frasco "provided several points of possible collaboration on tourism between the US and the Philippines."
"Secretary Frasco shared to the Ambassador the Department’s strategies to entice more tourists to come to the country which include digitalization through the tourist lifecycle app, increasing connectivity to secondary airports in the country to provide easier access to destinations, as well as ensuring tourists’ safety through close collaboration with agencies of the government mandated to ensure peace and order in the country," it added.
“I would like to formalize our intention to have a memorandum of cooperation with the United States so that we may be able to institutionalize the means by which we could work together especially in terms of new means of capacity building of our tourism frontliners, exchange of information, and best practices," she said.
