Gov’t committed to ensure tourists’ safety 2 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Philippine News AgencyMANILA— Despite the recent Jolo bombings that prompted the issuance of fresh foreign travel advisories on the Philippines last month, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) assured on Monday foreign tourists the government is committed to their safety and security in the country. “So we will advise foreign tourists upon their arrival where to go and if ever they will go to some areas, we will make sure that they are safe,” he added. At present, the DOT is trying to focus on domestic tourism to at least cushion the impact of foreign travel advisories, specifically in Mindanao. “On how we are going to mitigate it, we’re just going to continue on our strategy to beef up our domestic tourism promotions.
