PRAGUE 18 February 2020 – The Philippine Embassy in Prague-led campaign of “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” in the Czech Republic opened to a highly-enthusiastic crowd of Czech travel and tour professionals and agencies at Holiday World 2020, the biggest tourism trade fair in the Czech Republic, at PVA Expo Praha on 13 February 2020.

Even prior to the fair’s formal opening, industry professionals and agency representatives flocked to the Philippine stand to learn the destinations which they could offer to their customers in the Czech Republic.

Before the end of the first day of the exhibition, more than 30 tourism professionals and tour agencies, including print and broadcast media representatives, visited the 12-square meter Philippine stand which featured Palawan and Bohol destinations as designed by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) of the Philippines. The first two days of the fair on 13-14 February 2020 were reserved for the tourism industry professionals and travel agencies, and the last two days, for the general public.

The Philippine Embassy intends to increase tourist arrivals from the Czech Republic to the Philippines through participation in fairs and exhibitions such as Holiday World.

The Philippine Embassy’s tourism campaign in the Czech Republic is supported by the Department of Foreign Affair’s (DFA) Office of European Affairs (OEA) and Office of Strategic Research and Communications (OSCR), Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA), Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) of the Philippines, Department of Tourism (DOT)-Frankfurt, and the Filipino community in the Czech Republic.
