DAPITAN
CITY, Zamboanga del Norte (February 20, 2017) - Following Dapitan's series
of participation in the Dive Resort and Travel Shows in Hongkong and Taiwan
last year wherein it effectively captured the diving markets in those countries,
Dapitan City is participating this month in Singapore where there is a big
market for the diving industry.
Office
of the City Tourism Officer Apple Marie Agolong disclosed that their DRT Show
participation is their 3rd major offering this month under the City Tourism
Office wherein Dapitanons are so amazed with how the City is handling its
Events and Promotions Programs as it embarked on activities which may not be
called unique but definitely not the usual type of entertainment which are
common in almost all cities.
The
Local Government Unit through its Mayor, Rosalina G. Jalosjos is hoping to
bring in Singaporean divers in our shores so that they will be able to enjoy
the healthy marine environment in the sea triangle of Dapitan City. Its main
proof is the recent sightings of more than 500 turtle hatchlings in some of its
white sand coves and the more than 200 species of whales and dolphins as
already being documented by the national agencies concerned.
Agolong
added, after the historic FMC2 RAGE Night, it followed up with another big
event which is the First Shrine City Fashion Runway where glamour, beauty and
expression took center stage when Mindanao's Finest Designers met in Dapitan
dubbed as the Shrine City of the Philippines.
Agolong
said, with its very aggressive tourism marketing from both the local government
unit and the private stakeholders, it is now a very famous tourist city having
the only theme park in Visayas and Mindanao, the seat of the famous Dakak Park
and Beach Resort, equipped with various ecotourism wonders and popular for
introducing a lot of activities which is a level higher than the usual
standards.
Afterall,
Dapitan is indeed unique per se as it is the only place of exile of our
national hero, Dr.Jose P. Rizal.
