Best Local Government Websites 2007

Posted by Fred in Your Site on January 7, 2009

Let’s start the year with something worthwhile. Among the many ways to encourage travel and tourism in the Philippines is providing information, principally on where to go, what to see and how to get there. Travel blogs, such as this visitpinas.com, could only do so much. The entity best equipped to let the world know about travel gems, hidden and not so hidden, is the local government itself.

Visit Pinas: Visit the Philippines

Posted by Fred in Your Site on December 3, 2007

We could very well post travel logs in our own sites. Still, with a sense of community, promoting travel to and in our country is much easier and more meaningful. This is where we join our fellow Filipinos in exploring the Philippines – its beauty should be enjoyed by Filipinos. This is also a site where we invite non-Filipinos to visit the Philippines. If you love to travel (or would want to write something about why everyone should visit a place, see or do something, somewhere in the Philippines), then you’re most welcome in this collaborative site. Please feel free to share your Philippine travel logs and invite others to join the group, and, of course, visit the Philippines. Read the rest of this entry »
