PHILIPPINES TOURISM BOARD WANTS MORE AFRICAN AMERICANS TO VISIT THEIR COUNTRY

-- Did you know that the Philippines has more than 7,100 islands, and that the average room at a beachfront resort is only about $55 a night? --

3828816681?profile=original The Philippines Tourism Board (PTB) is launching a new advertising campaign to encourage more African Americans to visit their country. The Philippines consists of more than 7,100 islands located in Southeast Asia, and all of the islands are abundantly full of beautiful beaches, palm trees, and wildlife. Some even have hills and mountains.

Even more, the Philippines is known for being extremely affordable for tourists. One U.S. dollar equals nearly 40 Philippine pesos, and that translates to huge savings for vacation seekers. For example, the average room a beachfront hotel resort will only cost you about $55 a night. A one hour professional massage would only cost you about $5 - $10. A delicious meal of fresh seafood, rice, vegetables and fresh fruit drinks (like mango, banana, or watermelon) would cost about $10 per person or less.

The weather is always nice, as the country has an average year-round temperature of 85 degrees, and the people are known to be the most friendly people in the world. Even better, English is a widely spoken language, so communication is not difficult at all.

Millions of white Americans, Europeans, Australians, and other Asians visit the Philippines every year to take vacations, but reportedly, very few tourists are African Americans. In response to this, the Philippine Tourism Board is making an effort to educate this demographic about what they are missing out on. The marketing slogan this year from the country's Dept of Tourism is: "It's More Fun in the Philippines".

    Lebron James Holding Up A Sign With The Philippines' Tourism Slogan

    Manila, Philippines (BlackNews.com) -- Nike Philippines has recently announced that two-time NBA champion LeBron James will be visiting Manila, Philippines on July 23, 2013. James will visit the country for just one day, and will speak to young Filipino athletes, encouraging them "to strive for greatness and keep working hard as he did to win two consecutive championship titles."

    The Philippines is full of die-hard basketball fans, as basketball is the country's most popular sport. Filipinos are super excited to hear that Lebron will be making an appearance. Free tickets for the event will be given away starting July 17th at the Nike Park in Bonifacio Global City, Metro Manila. Only two tickets will be given per person on a first-come, first-served basis.

    This is Lebron's first time to visit the Philippines, but not his first visit to Asia. Last year, he did a 4-day Nike tour in Beijing, China where he spoke with thousands of fans, and even coached a local basketball game.

    The Philippine Tourism Board is also excited about the news of his arrival, as they have recently launched a campaign encouraging more African Americans to take vacations in the country. A recent press release released by the Board asked, "Did you know that the Philippines has more than 7,100 islands, and that the average room at a beachfront resort is only about $55 a night?" So far, the campaign is working favorably well.
