03 January 2018 WARSAW — Noting the steadily increasing number of Polish tourist arrivals to the Philippines and the potential of the Polish market, the Philippines’ Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) participated for the first time ever in the 2017 edition of the annual “Meet the Bidder” event to promote the Philippines as an ideal venue for M.I.C.E. (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions).
The TPB officials who came to Warsaw for the said event were Ms. Grace La Rosa, Project Officer of the M.I.C.E. Department and Ms. Raquel Ruth A. Tria, Officer-in-Charge of the Events Marketing and Services Division, M.I.C.E. Department.
Philippine Ambassador to Poland Ms. Patricia Ann Paez introduced the TPB officials to the president of the Polish Chamber of Tourism Mr. Pawel Niewiadomski who led the first-ever Familiarization Tour to the Philippines of a Polish delegation from the Chamber in March 2014. Since his visit to the Philippines, Mr. Niewiadomski informed the Philippine officials that he has brought at least four big groups of Polish tourists to Boracay.
The “Meet the Bidder” was organized by Mr. Marcin Lewandowski to provide a venue for “sellers” and “buyers” for M.I.C.E. to meet and partner in the business and is held yearly in Warsaw. It has been attracting more participants each year. END
