Tourism

Currently, what do you think is the best Philippine Tourism Website out there and why?

If you believe that all the current ones are not that good what do you suggest should be done & how can people (especially Filipinos) be proactive in promoting & helping out?

The http://www.tourism.gov.ph/ is good; but, the Tourism Department can do better by updating it quarterly or biannually.

Other good tourism sites are the Philippines’ provincial and city websites where each province, town or city feature their main tourist attractions.

There are also websites created by volunteers who promote their locality’s main and not so popular attractions.

Here are some websites.

http://www.batangasnow.com/

Agree with Tina and Jan-na on Ivan Henares and wayspoint.

There are also other sites to check out.

Still, the most effective way to promote our country is by word of mouth; and, how we conduct ourselves, as Filipinos, at home and in other countries.

How long has tourism been taking place in China?

Hint: Take a look at a change in leadership of the country in 1976.

Since Marco Polo.

Tourism to China has existed long before any reforms took place in the 70’s MODERN tourism started backup late70’s early 80’s. When the republic of China was founded, the Forbidden City of the QING empire was converted into a tourist attraction,… this was well before world war 2.

Is there chilli pepper tourism or a chilli tourist map etc etc for finding and eating super hot chillis in Bangalore, Kerala or Goa, for instance?

I’m a fan of super hot chillis and I’m thinking of coming to India with some like minded friends. We hear Indians know hot to make hot chilli meals…

Can you help?

of course you can get hot chilli meals that too in Andhra state cities and towns available, but hot chilli meals not available in other parts of india. you can get hot green chilli bajjis at chennai and bangalore besides andhra state cities and towns.

How has the tourism industry been affected by recent Gujjar strikes and the blasts that took place in jaipur?

neglible or non

I’ve noticed that the medical tourism industry uses price v quality as a benefit of traveling from US to other countries for plastic surgery, dental procedures, etc.

Do you think that now that the dollar is weaker that people will come from other countries to the US – to get a good deal on these procedures. More specifically from Europe where the Euro is strong. Why or why not?
I neglected to specify: for elective procedures like cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dentistry. Not life saving medical procedures…

The cost of our health care is far too high. Even a falling dollar cannot make us competitive with countries like India and Thailand.

What are the types of tourism products Singapore offered?
What are the types of tourism products Indonesia offered?
It’s better if you can include down the websites where you found the information.
Thanks!
