Tourism industry to benefit from Bin Laden’s death

BORACAY ISLAND, Malay- A tourism executive believed that the tourism industry will be boosted now that Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin laden is dead.

Department of Tourism (DoT) regional director Edwin Trompeta said that people are now more keen on visiting tourists destinations because their fear of possible terrorism scare would decrease.

He however urged tourists to be vigilant still to ensure peaceful vacation.
"For Boracay, its stakeholders must put up necessary facilities to prepare for more influx of tourists," Trompeta said.

This early, the DoT noted a 15 percent increase of both foreign and local tourists coming to Boracay compared to that of last year's data.

"Boracay remains to be one of the best beaches in the world," Trompeta said.
Police officials on the other hand continue to be on their toes to secure tourists coming to this resort island this summer.
