CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Among the greatest joys of travel
are the people — the ones you
embark on a long journey or quick trip with, and those you meet along the way.
It's an insight that Secretary Mon Jimenez, who now heads our Department
of Tourism, understands to a large extent. It's also the same insight that has
fueled the success of the department's latest campaign — it
is
more fun in
the Philippines, thanks to the warm smiles, boundless energy and genuine
hospitality that people offer.
You'll see the best of this in the hundreds of fiestas we celebrate, especially
in 10 of the biggest ones of the year
(page 73).
There are certainly
more festivals that happen across the country, each with its own flavor and fun
factor — so be sure to check
www.tourism.gov.ph
to see what's on. Remember:
the joy you get is as much as what you give — and that's exactly what 12
photography buffs gave us on our maiden flight to
Hanoi
(page 60)
: good
company, and great photos, for the first
Smile
PhotoTreks tour.
Still on the subject of fun, meet the guys behind
adventure
expeditions in Palawan
(page 94)
. Also in this issue,
explore
Singapore's picnic-perfect open spaces
(page 52),
or walk on
the trail to enlightenment
from one
Japanese temple to another
(page 86).
Whatever you do and
wherever you go, be the person you
want to meet along the way.
