Great news for The Philippines as the Department Of Tourism (DOT) has achieved the #SafeTravels stamp granted by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and becoming the 100th destination in implementing the global protocols to restore confidence to travelers and reinforce the sector.

 

With this stamp, it will be easier for travelers and tourism stakeholders to identify those destinations and companies that are complying and have implemented the health and hygiene protocols providing consistency to ensure the safety of travelers.

 

Qualified companies including airlines and airports, attractions, car rentals, cruise lines, hotels, outdoor shopping, short term rentals, restaurants, tour operators and transportation that will use the stamp as sign of the commitment to offer the best standards of hygiene and sanitation for the visitors.

 

It is important to highlight that this stamp will gradually help the economic recovery of the tourism industry, increasing the demand of destinations and generate jobs and  opportunities within the Philippines.

 

We cannot wait to travel again and experience all the tourist spots in the country.

44th Anniversary of IPCC

44th Anniversary of PICC

The Philippines became one of the first international meeting destination in Southeast Asia when the country surprised the world by being the first to build an international convention center.

 

The Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) is located in the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex in Metro Manila. PICC was inaugurated on September 5th in 1976 hosting the International Monetary Fund Meeting  (IMF-World Bank Meeting) with 4,650 delegates.

 

The world-class and iconic building is more than a convention center due to its brutalist architecture designed by the National Artist for Architecture Leandro V. Locsin. It took two years to build, $65 million to make it a reality and consists of five building modules to translate it into 70,000 square meter of floor space.

 

Just to mention a couple of events held in PICC

  • Miss Universe in 1994.
  • Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 1996 and 2015.

The Live Events Industry has never been so well united in the Philippines. 1st September will be remembered for the night where event venues, outdoor spaces, iconic buildings and landmarks shined red to support the campaign “Light it up in Red” by the National Live Events Coalition PH.
