It's More Fun In The Philippines 2016

[Dave Hounddriver]

This is the latest video/song campain to promote tourism in Philippines.  Nice song.

I agree Dave, great song, great filming and will do a lot of good for tourism there.

I never realized one of the Black Eyed Peas was Fil-Am.  Not sure what impact the music will have on Americans.  For me, whenever I hear Reggea music, I think of the Caribbean islands, not Philippines.  The ad appears to be made more for attracting younger tourists than 'seasoned' tourists like myself.

 

Other than that, great music video!

Very true, having grown up in a tourist area, It is a widely held belief that direct advertisement only entices a small number of tourists compared to repeat visitors or word of mouth (Hey Jolly, Lake Taal is a great place, you should really visit there). We have been to Guam a couple of times, they spend very little on advertising but you cant swing a dead cat with out hitting a Japanese or Russian tourist.

 

I think we all know the answer, IMHO the Philippines really needs to improve infrastructure and before the tourism industry really takes off.
