Release Summary: The Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT) and
Philippine Convention and Visitors Corporation (PCVC), is focusing
on a nationwide campaign to increase awareness and promote ecotourism
and adventure tourism destinations and activities throughout the
Philippines. The Clark Subic Marketing Portal is assisting in
the Efforts.
Press
Release Body: The Philippines is fortunate indeed
to have such unique travel destinations as Palawan,
with its mysterious remote beauty, the Banaue Rice Terraces
, considered the 8th wonder of the world, and
the Cagayan Valley with its extensive network
of exportable caverns. Add to this the numerous remote provinces,
many still inhabited by indigenous people, offering intrigue,
unprecedented natural-beauty and fascinatingly-unique character,
providing ideal backdrops for adventure tourism activities.
In
the words of the Adventure Travel Trade Association based
in the U.S., adventure travel may be any tourist activity
that includes two of the following three components: a 
physical
activity, a cultural exchange or interaction, and engagement with
nature. Adventure travelers step outside of their comfort zones
to experience something new, something cultural, something unique.
Typically, the destinations chosen by these enthusiasts are remote,
ecologically-pristine spots offering unusual features or conditions;
this describes many destinations in the Philippines
perfectly.
Travel
agencies throughout developed countries are expanding their portfolio
of offerings. It appears to no longer be good enough to offer
simple sightseeing packages; travelers now want more exciting
and experiential tour packages for their hard-earned money. Smart
travel operators are now packaging adventure activities to unusual
and unique locations as a significant part of their offerings.
Some activities included in these packages may include, trekking,
mountaineering, mountain biking, rafting, rock climbing, bird-watching,
whitewater rafting, scuba diving, snorkeling, spelunking, parasailing,
hang-gliding, sky-diving, rock climbing, repelling, military-style
jungle adventures, indigenous-people survival adventures, safaris,
wild animal interaction/encounters, sea mammal interaction/encounters
to name a few.
With
a clear understanding of the growth potential of this market,
Clark Subic Marketing (CSM), owner of a comprehensive
Internet portal for the Philippine Freeport Zones
of Clark and Subic Bay, found at: http://www.clarksubicmarketing.com,
is assisting the Philippine DOT. CSM
is promoting this relatively new, vital opportunity to
travel agencies, local government units, tourism councils and
other beneficial entities. 
CSM
is working with the Department of Tourism (DOT)/Philippine
Convention and Visitors Corporation (PCVC) to advertise
on the CSM portal and assist in coordinating
the hotel bookings for an upcoming seminar on adventure tourism
in the Clark Freeport. The seminar is designed
to educate and enlighten industry operators and purveyors to the
adventure travel potential and encourage relationship building
and intercommunication between all of the various current and
potential adventure travel providers and suppliers.
This
seminar, presented by the DOT and PCVC in cooperation
with its strategic partners, Recreational Outdoor Exchange
and Philippine Airlines is an intensive seminar designed
to help the Philippines grab a market share of
this lucrative market. According to PCVC this
seminar is ideal for those engaged in travel or adventure related
businesses or considering starting any of a plethora of new-ventures.
The seminar will build awareness and assist in learning the ins-and-outs
from foreign and local experts in the field of adventure tourism.
The
DOT/PCVC Adventure Tourism Seminar will be held at the Hotel Stotsenberg
