00:19In the continuous push of the Department of Tourism to the country's gastronomy or food tourism, it was also given that it is not just about the food because it is connected to the tourist destinations such as Camotes Islands.
00:36This is one of the reasons for the technical tours made in the United Nations Tourism Regional Forum on Gastronomy and Tourism for Asia and the Pacific held in Cebu.
00:47These tours that will allow you to discover the natural beauty and landscapes of Cebu and experience the hospitality of the people of Cebu.
00:57Camotes Islands in Cebu is a remarkable example of sustainable tourism development and community-based tourism efforts.
01:07For the local government of Poro, one of the four towns in Camotes Islands, the support of the national government is a big help for the promotion of their tourism.
01:16We want to promote our local dishes here on our island, more on seafoods, especially in our state where we don't have big industrial plants here, we are more on ecotourism because we are an island.
01:37What does the international delegates think of their experience in the Philippines and its position as a gastronomic destination?
01:45I think you're already there, I mean it's absolutely amazing, I'm still eating over there.
01:50So I think Philippines, I've been to a lot of Asian countries in general as well and I think Philippines is quite ahead in that area of gastronomy.
01:57I think the first thing is the food, what we realized is very different from the other part, from Cebu as well, which shows different provinces have different food, different cuisines, and very rich in culture.
02:09She said that her experience was good, especially when she saw the other parts of the country and not just limited to the towns.
02:15Here, you can see the unity of the community in promoting tourism.
02:20In the end, the most important part of tourism is for people to feel the change it brings.
02:26Especially in the Philippines, there will always be a good source of wealth along with delicious food.
