Failing to excite

Article Abstract:

The Philippine centennial celebrations may largely fail in its efforts to lure tourists due to the government's decision to tighten marketing budgets. The Philippines is fighting hard to boost tourism in 1998 but the economic crisis has forced it to scrimp on marketing budgets. The tourism budget has been slashed, airlines have cancelled flights, preparations are yet incomplete and hotel rates remain high.
