Aquino confident the country will regain reputation as top tourist destination: "The Department of Tourism (DOT), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) welcomed a delegation of around 500 tourists courtesy of the Philippines’ Foreign Service Posts in North America for the tour.
The publicity and goodwill generated by the tour provide a tremendous boost for the DOT’s efforts to invite overseas Filipinos to come home in the next five years.
Recently, the President signed Proclamation No. 181 declaring 2011-2016 as Pinoy Homecoming Years, aimed at tapping the huge potential of the balikbayan market as a source of tourism arrivals, especially the second- and third-generation Filipinos abroad.
Joining the Tour this year are Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Cuisia Jr. and Philippine Charge d’Affaires to Canada Minerva Jean Falcon, as well as six consuls general and four tourism attachés stationed in both countries."
