 WAYS ON HOW PHILIPPINE
DESTINATION CAN BECOME
AMONG THE PORTS OF CALL
FOR CRUISE SHIPS
THE Department of Tourism (DOT) is firming up a new strategy to
attract more cruise ships to key Philippine destinations, anchored on
better port facilities, faster entry-exit measures, and an improved
marketing program.
As a key element of our strategy, we are determined to build new
dedicated cruise facilities, most especially in Manila,” stressed
Bengzon, who also heads the Cruise Development Committee for
the Philippines. “A superior cruise port and terminal in the capital,
with its extensive airlift and ground facilities, will create a compelling
reason for large ships to spend time in the Philippines. Once here,
they can achieve outstanding port density with efficient cruising
speeds
The Cruise Strategy identified developments in the Turquoise Triangle
that links the destinations of Manila, Boracay and Puerto Princesa, as
well as potential new cruise destinations in Northern Luzon.
Latest data from the DOT showed arrivals by sea reached 14,028. For
February alone, 4,777 has been registered with Davao Port recording
1,118 followed by Batangas with 1,024.
On the other hand, Boracay received 979 while the rest of the seaports
accumulated 1,656 arrivals.
Last year, cruise passenger volume rose 16 percent to 69,802 from
60,183 passengers in the comparative period a year earlier.
