Paragliding, kayaking, scuba diving, mountaineering, trekking, trail-riding. The refreshing experience of the rich marine and terrestrial destinations of Central Visayas will be a key attraction at the International Travel Festival 2022 (ITF 2022) at the Ayala Center-Cebu this weekend.
Together with the outdoor tourism portfolio, Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) which has gained international popularity, will be an attraction at the event.
Filipino martial arts practitioners are scheduled for a demonstration performance today.
DOT7 has strongly supported FMA under its FMA7 Program. A diverse range of activities to engage in and sites to explore — mountains, dive spots, cultural heritage sites and other locations — will be showcased at the ITF 2022 Central Visayas Pavilion.
An initiative of the Department of Tourism (DOT)— Central Visayas Office (DOT7) in support of the region’s industry players, the pavilion showcases key destinations and new circuits in Cebu, Bohol, Negros Oriental and Siquijor.
“After two years of having been virtually home-bound, ITF 2022’s theme ‘It’s Time to Travel’ is appropriate. Indeed, it’s time to travel, experience more of our mountains, farms, and lush forests, our beaches and the sea,” says Shahlimar Hofer Tamano, Regional Director of the DOT- Central Visayas.
Tamano adds that the spotlight on outdoor destinations and FMA corresponds to existing health and safety protocols and promotes the more active, natural lifestyle.
