Cebu Pacific (CEB), the country’s leading domestic airline, is pushing for the inclusion of three Philippine tourist spots in the current online search for “Seven Wonders of Nature”.
Cebu Pacific has created a link in its website to the Seven Wonders of Nature voting site, www.new7wonders.com so that Filipinos worldwide can easily cast their votes for the Philippine entries: the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, and the Tubbataha Reef and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (Underground River), both in Palawan.
Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and product, said, “This is in support of the government’s efforts to promote our country in the global market. Just by joining this search, we are making the world aware of the natural wonders our country has to offer.”
Cebu Pacific will also launch an email blast endorsing the Philippine natural wonders to its database.
“As the No. 1 e-commerce website in the country, we hope we can help invite all the Filipinos to go online, vote and make the Philippines part of the New 7 Wonders of the World because this is something we should be very proud of. Let’s all do our part in making this happen.” Iyog emphasized.
As of yesterday’s Live Top 77 ranking at www.new7wonders.com, Tubbataha Reef is ranked No.8 and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is at No. 53. Chocolate Hills is below the top 77 cut-off mark.
“With this search, we hope to entice more foreign and local tourists to come see the Philippines’ natural wonders and contribute to the development of our tourism industry,” Iyog stated.
Now in its 13th year, Cebu Pacific continues to have the youngest fleet in the Philippines. Cebu Pacific flies to 14, soon to be 16 international destinations, with the addition of Kaohsiung in June, and Kota Kinabalu in July. Cebu Pacific also operates flights to 21 domestic destinations.
