The Hotel Sales and Marketing Association International just recently held their membership meet at Kingsford Hotel in Parañaque City. They also announced the annual September Sale, where member properties will offer vouchers that's offered in very attractive prices and can be used in different dates of the year (without expiration). This initiative has been done by the organization and their members to help stimulate local tourism including properties outside Metro Manila.
Ms. Lolet G. So of HSMA "Our events have been supported by our media friends and the DOT. Thank you to all the members for being here today from the hospitality industry. The past 7 months have been very busy, we had a lot of relationship fostering with agents and clients. Amy and Tep has been working hard on our September Online Sale. We also will have a summit to guide everyone for what we will be doing this 2024. The next few months will be busy for the association and the members as we meet targets before the year ends. Thank you to our partners for always supporting HSMA. She has been with us since the pandemic and the DOT initiatives, she will also be discussing their efforts, our keynote speaker RD for DOT Shailyn Batin."
Ms. Sharlene Batin says "I would like to start with a baseline so you understand where the DOT is coming from. The transfer and control of the national government to the local government so there's more participation from stakeholders. We need to work together to make sure the culture of tourism is good in your area. The concept of decentralization means it is shared responsibility, accountability and am pleased to tell you training was done for 70k in our industry, more soon. The pandemic taught us many things, to create policies and guidelines, have more engagement, collaboration and partnerships, economic growth. People are in a constant state of movement no matter what the situation is and we will create an environment where businesses could grow. Most of you know we now have hop on hop off hubs in the country. We will be launching the Parañaque hub soon and hope we capture the layover market. We saw numbers and hope they see the Philippines on October 15. The objective is to make a DIY, tourist experience in here and other major cities. Devolution needs technology, we understand that we need digital solutions, as these hop on hop off services are common in Europe."
