Diliman Diary Blog 03/12/2012: Philippine Tourism, Is It More Fun In The Philippines?


Although a good marketing strategy, the More Fun In The Philippines meme is considered by a number of Filipinos as pretentious and stupid. Some question if fun includes unpaved roads, traffic in the big cities, robbery, hostage-takings, and bombing. While other Filipinos are excited about promoting the good things about this country, the crime rate is just too high to encourage tourism. 

It seems that the government has lost sight of its priorities or may not even know how to prioritize at all. The social media angle for the More Fun In The Philippines theme however is very good and the people at the Department of Tourism should be congratulated –they after all did a good job.

  1. There are many people all over the world who make it a point to save some amount of money so they can go on vacations during their holiday breaks. Because of the cultural diversity, natural wonders and beauties and deep-seated history that they can find in a great number of places across the globe, these people do not mind spending their hard-earned money on these holiday trips.
