Attendees of the official launch listen to the details of the upcoming the 12th Ambassadors’ Tour.
28 February 2018 HONOLULU – The Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu, Hawaii officially launched the 12th Ambassadors Tour to the Philippines on February 23. The Ambassador’s Tour will happen on 07-16 July and will take the delegates across Manila, Cebu and Bohol.
One hundred participants including prospective tour participants, travel and tour agents, media and members of the Filipino community attended the launch.
The tour aims to provide its participants a chance to soak in the best of Philippine tourist destinations and to reconnect with Philippine culture. It is a joint project of the Philippine Foreign Service Posts in the United States, the Department of Foreign Affairs, together with Rajah Tours, the selected ground handler of the 12th Ambassadors’ Tour.
In his welcome remarks, Consul General Joselito A. Jimeno encouraged the audience to take part in this affordable, and much-sought after annual tour to the Philippines, adding that participating in the Ambassadors’ Tour not only allows the participants to experience the Philippines, but is also a way for US-based Filipinos and Filipino Americans to help support Philippine tourism and to contribute to the local communities in Manila, Cebu and Bohol.
He also enlisted the support of the travel agencies, media and the Filipino community to help promote the tour.
According to the tour consolidators, delegates from Hawaii, will only pay a basic tour package from US$2,215.00, inclusive of international and domestic airfares, hotel accommodation for 8 days and 7 nights, on twin sharing basis, land transportation and tours. This rate is one of the most affordable package deals available for travelers coming from Hawaii to the Philippines.
Since its inception in 2005, the Ambassadors’ Tour, formerly called as the Ambassadors, Consuls General and Tourism Directors Tour (ACGTDT), has become an annual tourist-generating program through the revenues derived from sold tour packages from the participants, with the exception of the Presidential election years of 2010 and 2016.
