Tourism bags new direct flight deal to Japan

The tourism sector is getting a huge boost from the Japanese market with a package agreement and investment commitments from the biggest travel association in Japan. These were secured in Japan during President Duterte’s recent state visit.

Department of Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo who headed the DOT delegation announced that they have clinched a deal with Vanilla Air for direct flights between Tokyo (Narita) and Cebu. “This would ensure a stronger visibility for Cebu as a vacation destination for Japaenese tourists,” she said.
