BORACAY — A brighter future awaits Philippine tourism as Filipinos have been increasingly becoming tourism-conscious, the Regional Tourism Council chief said.
More and more provinces in the Western Visayas are developing their tourist attractions, helping improve the country’s tourism, said Vicky Ramos-Antonino.
Tourism destinations in the provinces like this resort island were discovered only in the 1980s, according to Antonino.
“It is apparent that we still have a young tourism industry, but (it) continues to be vibrant,” she said.
Other tourism destinations discovered in the same decade include those in Palawan, Subic, Baguio City and Bohol.
Prior to these discoveries, tourism destinations were found mostly in Metro Manila like the Manila Zoo, Intramuros and the Manila Bay.
Meanwhile, the tourism council said Aklan targets to attract one million tourists next year.
Iloilo province, on the other hand, is also developing more tourism destinations to lure more tourists, it added.
