PH should tighten security measures

REAL estate consultancy firm Colliers International urged the government to implement tighter security measures and project a business-as-usual image to cushion the tourism industry from the effects of the terror attacks in Mindanao and the Resorts World Manila incident in June.

Foreign tourist influx in the country typically dips during the third quarter and is usually offset by the traditionally strong final quarter as overseas Filipino workers and foreigners opt to spend their holidays in the Philippines, Colliers said.
