VISIT ILOILO campaign eyes more tourist arrivals for Iloilo

The City of Love, Iloilo, just keeps on giving its people and guests more reason to visit as the city rallies all tourism related stakeholders to further strengthen community partnerships. 

This includes the city’s thrust to increase its capacity to attract inbound local and foreign travelers during the commitment launch of the Visit Iloilo Campaign held at the Iloilo Convention Center located at the Iloilo Business Park in Mandurriao.

With the Iloilo Festival Foundation Inc. (IFFI) at the helm, Allan Tan, President of the organization shares “Visit Iloilo is our attempt to further promote Iloilo into becoming one of the premier tourist destinations here in our country. He adds “it is an invitation for everyone to immerse themselves in our Ilonggo history, heritage, and hospitality.

Adding to the success of this campaign are the overwhelming support of the Provincial and City Government, the Department of Tourism of Region 6, Tourism Promotions Board, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Iloilo, and the Iloilo M.I.C.E Alliance.

The Philippines’ gateway to many more destinations in Western Visayas is tapping into all partners from air, land, sea transportation, accommodations, recreation, shopping, destination, and other establishments for an alliance that ties up a well-rounded experience for a variety of guests in search of their next adventure.

From its straightforward title, #VisitIloilo gestures the ultimate response for would-be guests to act.

This unified effort serves as the industry’s local arm that will elevate all that is good about the city as it cascades it across channels, platforms, and discussions where buyers are also present. 

Along with this is to create a consistent digital awareness campaign redirecting searches across the web to a conversion site where suppliers are all present and waiting.

To add, the campaign aims to facilitate multi-sectoral synergy and collaboration, intentionally provide materials that will be published and released nationally and globally and create new tour packages all in the hopes of improving Iloilo’s tourist receipts increasing economic gains and opportunity for all.

President Tan, ends “let us elevate Visit Iloilo into more than just a campaign, but a legacy that enriches our lives and elaves an indelible mark for generations to come. 

Together, let us invite everyone to Visit Iloilo, Experience Iloilo, and of course Love Iloilo!

Connie Carillo Diversified Farm in Bingawan: Helping Sustaining a Healthy Community Through Farm Schools

The area around the town of Bingawan, the edge of the central portion of the province is where it ends and the town of Tapaz, Capiz province begins and is very much another unsung corner of Iloilo with warm, friendly, welcoming people. Bingawan has some rich farming land and farming is at the heart of its village life. The landscapes are gorgeous here; with gentle pastures, to the high mountains.

St. Joseph Chapel at Festive Walk Iloilo's The Deck

While most malls around the country host Sunday masses in some obscure hallway filled with plastic chairs with a makeshift altar, some malls have built niches or transformed unused spaces into places of worship. And Ilonggos should be proud that one of the newest malls in Iloilo City has actually a chapel located in a prime spot and one that boasts both beauty and serenity.  The St. Joseph Chapel at Festive Walk Iloilo is located in one of its al fresco areas known as The Deck located  at the 3rd level. While this open air area also has a mini plaza and dog park (and soon - cafes and restaurants) it is the chapel that highlights this al fresco part of the mall. Eucharistic mass services are held every Sunday at 11am while first Friday masses at 5pm.  It is open to the public everyday for personal moments of silence and solitude. The Deck and everything in it is open from 10am to 10pm with the entrance located betwee...
