The beautiful beaches, romantic
resorts, and breathtaking view of Cebu City received a well-deserved
commendation as the Queen City of the South was recently hailed
as the Best Honeymoon Destination during the World Trade Fair
2010 held at Shanghai, China.
The Department of Tourism
(DoT) revealed the news last Wednesday, June 9 after Cebu
was declared winner after a public vote and a strict evaluation
process undertaken by professional jurors from the Shanghai
Tourism Municipal Administration, VNU Exhibitions Asia, and
Shanghai International Conference Management Organization.
In his interview with the
press, DoT Secretary Joseph 'Ace' Durano said that they are
not surprised that more and more travelers, especially couples,
are finding its pristine white beaches, romantic resorts and
breathtaking views, coupled with the innate warmth and friendliness
of our locals, a perfect treat for their honeymoon trip.
Sec. Durano added that the
said recognition of Cebu is a “noteworthy indication
of the country’s growing tourism charm among many travelers
across the world.” He also stressed that the country’s
competitive tour pricing and the continuous development of
the transportation sector are influential drivers of tourism
growth in the island-province.
DoT Undersecretary for Tourism
Planning and Promotions Eduardo Jarque, Jr., who received
the award during the said travel fair, said that the citation
is “an affirmation of the country’s world-class
tourist spots and its unfailing efforts to reach out to new
markets”.
