Public diplomacy seminar- Philippine tourism
The early session of our seminar last Aug. 28, 2010 we had the secretary of the Department of Tourism to give us a tiny lecture. I was a bit late but the topic that got my attention was the happening about the Manila Hostage Drama last Aug 23, 2010. The tourism of country had been affected to what had happened. OFWs had been deported and had experience racial discrimination. I am mad at those who had no own opinion who had been stereotyping Filipinos all over the world. As I said to my other blogs no one wanted this to happen but if the situation was handled well maybe it ended up differently. Tourism is an important factor to the development of the country that is why future diplomats like CDA students must know the factors and how to handle problems concering tourism because like what had happened in the incident in Quirino grandstand which is now costing us so much suffering especially in international relations we have been banned in plenty of countries around the world. There must be a policy concerning the security of tourist so that they will have assurance when they visit our country. It will bring more income in our tourism and will also give us more employment for our people.
