Various tourist destinations from Luzon to Mindanao were featured in the recent 2007 Visayas-Mindanao Travel Show held at the Trade Hall of SM City in Cebu.
Hotels and resorts in Philippine premier tourist spots from the Cordillera Administrative Region in Luzon to Caraga in Mindanao joined the travel exhibit that ran from March 16 to 18 in SM. Other show participants include local tourism offices, travel operators, and transportation companies.

The wooden footbridge is reportedly the country’s longest at 391 meters and, though originally created to connect two towns, has now been transformed “as a promenade area that gives visitors the exhilarating experience and thrill of crossing two islands on foot.”
The Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna displayed a model of the park complete with moving miniature rides. The Enchanted Kingdom mascot was also present to entertain travel show visitors.
Several other exhibitors gave out glossy brochures.
Other areas featured include the popular Boracay island, summer capital Baguio City, Camiguin in Mindanao, Malapascua, Camotes and Bantayan in Cebu, and Palawan, among others.
Cebu Living will be posting details — summer and Lent packages, rates, contact persons and numbers, maps — of the various destinations in batches and their summer and Lent packages.

I’m a native from the Philippines and I sure do hope this trend will continue. I do have qualms about the handling of historical sites though, a lot of them has been destroyed due to land development (better known as urbanization) in spite of the complaints of local historical groups. Makes me wonder which is worst? Being a zealot or a politician.
