Mabuhay! The Department of Tourism in partnership with the Creative Tourism Network, based in
Barcelona, Spain is spearheading the development of Creative Tourism in the Philippines. As Creative
Tourism is a form of travel that places an emphasis on engaging tourists with “co-creation’ with
local culture, arts, and heritage at the forefront, this type of tourism has gained popularity in
recent years as more and more travelers seek meaningful and authentic experiences that go beyond
traditional tourist attractions. The Philippines with its magnitude of cultural assets, traditions
and experiences can definitely take the global stage in Creative Tourism.
Join us as at the Philippine Creative Tourism Congress from December 6 to 8, 2023 in
the magnificent and vibrant province of Negros Occidental and immerse yourself in enlightening
plenary sessions and engaging breakout sessions featuring activators from across the country.
Together, we will unveil the boundless potential of the Philippines, showcasing its cultural
richness from Luzon, Visayas, to Mindanao, positioning them as prime destinations in Asia for
Creative Tourism.
Be part of this distinguished event and contribute to the collective narrative shaping the
Philippines as a cultural epicenter for genuine and enriching travel encounters.
