Places : Intramuros

The Philippines is one, if not the most beautiful country in the world when it comes to natural wonders, landscapes, sceneries and historical places. But our department of tourism is not able to promote them the way they should be. When I went to Malaysia a few years ago, they were  promoting in their tourist brochures, maps and tourism ads a historical arch as a must-see tourist destination  in Malacca. And here in the Manila, we have the Intramuros- the Walled Spanish city, full not only of arches but churches, museums, schools, a fort and other interesting historical landmarks all in one place. But our promotion campaigns of Intramuros  pales in comparison  with the way Malaysians promote this Portugese arch in Malacca. I hope our department of tourism will be more aggressive in promoting our tourist destinations. Our neighboring ASEAN countries are earning much tourism dollars/euros with their campaigns. Can't we do the same?
