                    [Summary] => Open it first and investigate it later.


This was the position aired by Tourism Secretary Richard Gordon yesterday as he expressed regrets over the decision of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) to defer the opening of the controversial Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.


The delay in the new air terminal’s opening, Gordon said, will set back efforts to attract more tourists to visit the Philippines.

                    [Summary] => Travel and tour operators have rallied behind the Visit Philippines 2003 program of the government but said issues hounding the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 project must first be resolved before the facility is opened to the public.


Leaders of the Network of Independent Travel Agencies (NITAS) and the Travel Cooperative of the Philippines (TCP) said Tourism Secretary Richard Gordon should be supported in his program to boost tourism since it is the whole country that will benefit from it.
