A total of 265 officers, agents and partners representing Europe’s biggest and top-selling travel agencies in Germany and Austria plus 10 foreign media members of European travel publications under Meir’s Weltreisen recently received a warm welcome reception by the Department of Tourism (DOT) at the National Museum near Manila City Hall.
The group, composed mostly of Germans and Austrians, was in the country to hold its much-coveted event, the Far East Live Seminar (FELS), a four-day convention and ocular inspection of hotels and resorts.
The FELS has been proven to increase tourism arrivals in Asian countries where it has been previously held. In 2006, Vietnam’s arrivals went up by 40 per cent, while in 2007, Thailand experienced a double growth in tour package bookings.
