Join DOT's Keep The Fun Going Challenge And Win Tickets For Two To El Nido Palawan!
As the Philippine government eases its rules on COVID-19, business operations are now in full capacity under Alert Level I. The tourism industry is also slowly rebounding from the slump as more travelers are now back on the road.
To remind tourists of their responsibilities towards nature and the environment, the Department of Tourism urges everyone to champion sustainable tourism in the Philippines.
It's okay to start exploring the country, but practice sustainability!
DOT's Philippine Travel website also launches the "Save our Spots" campaign. It's a series of reminders on how to become a sustainable traveler while having fun, what to bring and what to avoid. For instance: bring tumbler to refill water instead of buying bottled water, as plastics are polluting our environment.
The Department of Tourism launches the "Keep The Fun Going" challenge to promote the "Save our Spots" campaign. This challenge encourages everyone to champion sustainable tourism and win a free trip to El Nido, Palawan for two!
This challenge motivates everyone to choose outdoor adventures and activities that help minimize our carbon footprints. Here's what Carbon Footprints mean.
For example, hiking, camping, walking on a beach, and biking (instead of riding a car). Activities that minimize the use of fossil fuels, electricity, and other carbon emitters.
Here's how to join:
- Take a photo of yourself walking, hiking, or biking while you're exploring the place. It could be a snap while trekking a mountain, walking along the beach, or taking a road trip on your bicycle.
- Post your photo on social media - Facebook, Tiktok, Twitter, Instagram. Write a brief description of your photo.
- Include the #keepthefungoing and #challengedone hashtags in your post.
- Tag the Department of Tourism on any social media platforms of your choice. Facebook: DOT - Philippines; Instagram: @tourism_phl; Twitter: @TourismPHL; Tiktok: tourism Philippines.
- Tag three of your friends in the post
