Harold’s Hotel on Gorordo Avenue, Cebu City has reported an average of 70 percent occupancy since it started operating early this year.

A company official attributed the growth to Cebu’s vibrant hotel industry and the company’s good market planning and investment.

Fuentes said most of its guests are from local corporations with business dealings in Cebu. (more…)

Ace Durano, Secretary of Tourism further attributed the increase in arrivals to three travel considerations of the Chinese market which include cost, Chinese-friendly culture and quick and affordable facilitation of visa processing. “We are strong on all three factors. We have value-for-money destination packages, pervasive Chinese influences, and visa-upon-arrival for tourists,” Durano stressed.

Nine direct chartered flights from Shanghai to Cebu also served to accommodate the huge inbound traffic of Chinese arrivals. (more…)
