                    [Title] => The tourism gold rush
                    [Summary] => 



For the past 20 years, the tourism sector has been pretty upbeat. Visitor arrivals have been making huge leaps, posting double digit growth rates of 20.14 percent in 2004 and 14.48 percent in 2005. With this kind of growth rate, which is expected to accelerate further, we have started to experience shortages in hotel rooms and lodging facilities in different destinations. The opportunities in the tourism industry are so huge, and it’s not just the balikbayans and their groups who are filling this market, but new generation of visitors.

Lahos! It was all I could say when I read in the papers about the most recent airline incident that happened at a local airport. Lahos in Tagalog means lumagpas or lampas. The airplane actually overshot the runway. Thank God, nobody was harmed.
