After having suffered through a decade when corruption and impunity flourished in government, an exasperated Filipino people opted for change. They elected a reluctant President committed to a platform of "Kung Walang Corrupt, Walang Mahirap" (No Corrupt, No Poor). From the very start, the Administration acknowledged that reform would not succeed if it was undertaken by government alone. The support and participation of the people was needed to counter powerful political and economic interests that would oppose and derail reform efforts. It was only through an open government that the people could participate and own reform efforts. Amidst much political opposition in the early part of the administration, government launched a battery of initiatives aimed at strengthening transparency, participation and accountability in government. Such initiatives include the disclosure of financial and budgetary information, participatory budgeting and participatory audits, running after corrupt revenue officials, sending corrupt senior officials to jail, adoption of new technologies to improve transparency and accountability in government procurement, and incentive programs to promote good governance among local governments. Three years into the administration, we are now beginning to reap the benefits of open government - our President enjoys an unprecedented sustained trust rating of over 70% and the country has received its very first investment grade. In the second half of the Aquino Administration, the challenge will be to ensure that more people, especially the poor and those in the margins, directly benefit from the dividends of an open government. This will require greater commitment from both government and non-government reform champions and stakeholders, to ensure that open government practices take root in the bureaucracy and become the norm in government.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Tourist]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTourist/country-of-the-philippines</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTourist/country-of-the-philippines</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 21 Apr 2024 06:09:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Philippines Beach Holiday Destinations</title> <description>What do we think of when we’re asked about the Philippines?

We’ll give you a clue. A nation made up of more than 7, 000 islands, where each one is caressed by calm, turquoise waters and blissfully white sandy shores, it’s a coastal paradise. But there’s more to this fascinating country than just glorious beaches, that’s if you know where to look. So let us take you to Palawan, a little known region where you can hang out with the charming locals at bustling markets, meet ancient rainforest tribes in the depth of the jungle, and experience its weird and wonderful wildlife. Touch down in the bustling capital of Manila where you’ll be transferred amidst the hustle and bustle to a beautiful urban oasis; the Peninsula Hotel. Steeped in colonial grandeur it’s the perfect place to explore the teeming metropolis and get a feel for the spirit of the Philippines. Real life chocolate box Once rested up and raring to go it’s time to escape the city and head to the region of Bohol to marvel at the one of the Philippines’ many spectacular natural landmarks. This morning you’ll explore the aptly named Chocolate Hills, an impressive range of 1, 268 hills that resemble chocolates during the dry season. The hills which range from 30-50 metres tall are a sight to take your breath away, just make sure you don’t forget your camera. For lunch set sail down the Loboc River, and as you feast on local Filipino delicacies, watch the world float by and soak up the natural beauty of the surrounding forest and peaceful river. After your lazy lunch head to your island bolthole for the next two nights; the Amorita Resort. Nestled top a seaside cliff at the north eastern end of the famed Alona beach in Panglao Island, at Amorita you’re greeted every day by the breath-taking 180 degree view of the Bohol Sea which extends out like a turquoise abyss. Pretty special if you ask us. After a hearty breakfast it’s time to get out and explore the magnificent landscape of Corella, Black Tomato style, on the back of the motorbike. Traverse the region as you awe at the stunning lush greenery moulded by Mother Nature into tumbling hills. Your guide will show you a few secret waterfalls where you can relax after a long ride. This region of the Philippines is home to the cutest critters you’ll ever lay your eyes on, the tarsier. Take a hike up to the tarsier sanctuary where you can come face-to-face with these endangered, bug-eyed species in their natural habitats. After lunch it’s time for more of nature’s wonders as you’ll take a tour of Panglao Island where at the right time of year you can spot whales and dolphins congregating off the coast. For a real buzz pull up a pew at Bohol bee farm where you’ll take your lunch, those with a sweet tooth will be in seventh heaven. Paradise in Palawan After your stint in Bohol you’ll be whisked off to the paradise of Palawan, in our eyes it’s the undisputed gem in the Philippines’s crown. Picture mountainous islands clad in a thick carpet of verdant jungle, just calling out to be explored. And encircling these island beauties you’ll find miles upon miles of candy coloured corals teeming with marine life that makes for some world class diving and snorkelling.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Best Beach]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestBeach/philippines-beach-holiday-destinations</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestBeach/philippines-beach-holiday-destinations</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Apr 2024 06:08:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Philippines Travel Tips</title> <description>Travel Tips A trip to a foreign country can indeed be fun and exciting.

That’s the enticing promise of a trip to Palawan, a chain of white-sand islands in the Philippines. Palawan is the latest far-flung beach destination to capture the imagination of travelers, specifically, discerning T+L readers who voted it the No. 1 island in the latest World’s Best survey. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the greater the distance traveled, the greater the rewards. That said, readers recognized worthy getaways all over the map, from the sultry island of Sicily (No. 8)—where vineyards and ancient ruins vie with beaches for your attention—to the heart-shaped paradise of Moorea, a French Polynesian island known for its blue lagoons and luxurious hideaways. You can also take your pick from notable islands near America’s East and West coasts: Prince Edward Island, with its seaside cottages and red sand dunes, and Maui, which trumped the other Hawaiian islands, coming in at No. 3 overall.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Best Beach]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestBeach/palawan-best-beaches</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestBeach/palawan-best-beaches</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 21 Mar 2024 06:41:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>New Zealand Tourism Sydney</title> <description>Much of the attraction to New Zealand for international tourists was its natural landscape.

The tourist image of New Zealand, with its "100% Pure" marketing slogan, is deeply linked to the natural environment and sustainability. But it turns out that isn't just window dressing. Most countries are trying to attract as many international tourists as possible, but Tourism NZ chief executive Kevin Bowler actually wouldn't mind if the growth rate of arrivals slowed, as long as their onshore spending continued to increase rapidly. "In a way it is growing faster than we really want, " he said of a 30 per cent rise in the number of Chinese tourists to 315, 000 over the last 12 months. "It is probably more sustainable and more manageable to be growing at a rate half of what we are currently growing." Natural attractions such as Milford Sound are a big reason why tourists go to New Zealand. Tourism NZ, which in most cases competes against rather than co-operates with Tourism Australia, has long been working hard to attract high-yielding visitors. That strategy is paying dividends. New Zealand overall reported a 7 per cent rise in international arrivals to 3 million, but a 28 per cent jump in their spending to $NZ9 billion ($8 billion) excluding airfares in the 12 months ended June. That compares with a 7 per cent rise in international visitors to Australia to 6.6 million but just a 10 per cent rise in spending to $33.4 billion over the same period. Tourism NZ has a focused team working on luring premium travellers to help maximise the economic benefits while minimising the footprint on the ground. Tourism Australia is looking to put together more funding and resources to focus on high-yielding travellers from the US, China and Brazil, but tourism industry players say Tourism NZ is well ahead of its Aussie rival on this front. New Zealand attracts tourists in large part due to its natural beauty. Photo: Ben Long And in a sign of just how seriously tourism is considered as an economic driver in New Zealand – particularly as the milk price falls – it is notable that Prime Minister John Key personally oversees the tourism portfolio. "It is close to dairy [in importance], " Mr Bowler said of the economic contribution. "It is definitely seen by our political leaders as an important industry." One of the challenges for Tourism NZ is a huge number of arrivals over the peak summer period from January to March, but far fewer throughout the rest of the year. "We are out of capacity over our summer at the moment, " Mr Bowler said. "About 80 per cent of our entire focus will now be on growing shoulder-season travel. The problem is [that] there is a real lag on hotel construction. So we are probably three years away from meeting today's demand by way of hotels." Air New Zealand chief executive Christopher Luxon said the airline is also conscious of the problem and working to market seats harder during the shoulder seasons as part of its broader sustainability program launched in Auckland this week. "What we don't want over the next five to 10 years is to have a great economic win but a social and an environmental negative [from tourism], " he said. "So there are conversations going on quite consciously saying we want to manage the shape of that from where that is going. We have this massive peak over the summer period. That creates more pressure in the system. We want to distil that out over the full year." Mr Bowler much of the attraction to New Zealand for international tourists was its natural landscape and the environment, and it was important to ensure the brand image remained the reality. "Unquestionably the most powerful thing that New Zealand offers in the world in terms of reasons to visit is the landscape, scenery and environment, " he said. "While they will visit and discover activities and culture and people, the thing that gets on the short list is landscape. We don't have a built environment like a Paris or a London. We are reliant on those images of places like Queenstown. People say, 'Wow, I really want to see that.' Then they discover all of the other things."</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Tourism]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTourism/new-zealand-tourism-sydney</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTourism/new-zealand-tourism-sydney</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 12 Mar 2024 06:10:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Philippines beautiful places</title> <description>The Philippines: The Most Beautiful Places From rugged volcanic mountain landscapes, down through rich farmlands, to dazzlingly white sand beaches, and finally onto stunning submarine coral reefs, the Philippines archipelago has ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/white_sand_beach_in_el_nido.jpg" alt="White Sand Beach in El Nido" align="left" /><p>The Philippines: The Most Beautiful Places From rugged volcanic mountain landscapes, down through rich farmlands, to dazzlingly white sand beaches, and finally onto stunning submarine coral reefs, the Philippines archipelago has a fantastic range of beautiful places.

Many of the places are patrolled by the authorities, trespassers will be prosecuted. Baguio City - Diplomat Hotel - This was a Seminary during the early 1900, world war 2 came and several priest and nuns were killed some of them beheaded by japanese occupying forces. This was converted into a hotel after the war. In it self it was pretty eerie, big rooms with to king size beds bibles at the side tables and the rooms are dimly lit. Clerks, bell hops, and hotel guest, complain of wailing even during day time, and when night comes, apparitions of headless priest roam the corridors, some even say that they see ghost carrying their heads on a platter. Haunting s are not limited inside the hotel for when you stroll outside the compound you would see neighboring houses with crosses painted on their doors and windows, and are kept shut when darkness falls. Baguio City - Philippine Military Academy - Several ghosts haunt this place. Sometimes late at night a platoon can be heard marching in the parade grounds. A ghost of a cadet dressed in parade uniform and left in one of the lockers still appears. A ghost of a priest who was beheaded during the Japanese occupation period appears here as well as the ghost of a white lady. Baguio City - Teacher's Camp - It is believed that this was once a battlefield of the native citizens there. Ghosts of native warriors, as well as spirits that are still restless, are reportedly seen there. Corregidor - Hospital Ruins, and bunkers - Sounds of activities can be heard within the area of the hospital ruins, which were destroyed during WW2, sounds such as footsteps, and rumblings of normal hospital activities. Around the bunker area, sounds of ghostly moans can be heard, assorted noises as well.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Best Places]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestPlaces/philippines-places</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestPlaces/philippines-places</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Feb 2024 05:08:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Travel News Philippines</title> <description>Philippines Tourism conducts roadshows in Pune and Ahmedabad The Department of Tourism (DOT), Philippines has successfully conducted the ‘Visit the Philippines Year Again (VPA) 2016’ roadshow for its travel trade partners ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/travel_news_philippines_airasia_philippines_and.jpg" alt="TRAVEL NEWS PHILIPPINES:" align="left" /><p>Philippines Tourism conducts roadshows in Pune and Ahmedabad The Department of Tourism (DOT), Philippines has successfully conducted the ‘Visit the Philippines Year Again (VPA) 2016’ roadshow for its travel trade partners based in the cities of Pune and Ahmedabad on 22nd and 24th February respectively.
