Puerto Princesa Underground River as the Philippines’ bet to the New 7 Wonders Of Nature

July 29th, 2011  Posted by annaph

The Department of Tourism (DOT) is in the forefront in campaigning for the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) as the Philippines’ bet to the New 7 Wonders of Nature (N7WN).

In the next months, the DOT will conduct familiarization trips for the media and produce an episode in a travel program on TV to encourage media partners and friends, as well as Filipinos from all over the world to spread the word about the campaign. It is hoped that through various advertisements, forum, and voting stations, the PPUR’s bid to be in the N7WN will be strengthened.

Meanwhile, Secretary Alberto A. Lim recently met with the officials of the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FFCCCI). “I have made a pitch for them to support the program and I am happy that they have responded positively by saying they will encourage Mainland Chinese to vote as well,” the Secretary shared.

There will likewise be a Grand Media Launch at the Department of Environment and National Resources (DENR), which will be covered by around 200 media practitioners to kick off the aggressive campaign.

The next 3 months are crucial in the promotion and advertising activities of the Puerto Princesa Underground River, before the announcement of the Top Seven Wonders of Nature on November 11, 2011.

Last day of voting is midnight of November 10, 2011. To vote via email, log-on to www.new7wonders.com/.

The Puerto Princesa Underground River was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in December 4, 1999, which is now the Philippines’ official nominee to the New 7 Wonders of Nature (N7WN) campaign. (Philippine Tourism)
