MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Tourism (DOT) should use “storytelling” to attract more foreign visitors to the country, Senator Sonny Angara said Wednesday. The DOT’s target for 2018 was 7.4 million tourist arrivals. “We expect the DOT to come up with a powerful, believable and interesting story about the country and its destinations to encourage more foreign tourists to visit the Philippines,” Angara said. The senator earlier called on the DOT to fast-track its plans and programs in developing and promoting other tourist destinations in the country. We can do so much better than 7.4 million tourists.
