Secretary Ace Durano is dead serious about fulfilling his mission of dramatically increasing the tourist influx, set at some five million tourists by 2010, according to some reports. This is a tall order, given the stiff competition we are facing from more seasoned players in the region.  I’m sure most of you have seen the ads selling Malaysia as a destination. These are strategically placed, and CNN watchers will often see this beguiling ad, so professionally done, so inviting that you would want to make Malaysia your next travel destination.
