00:00At the United Nations Tourism Regional Forum on Gastronomy and Tourism for Asia and the Pacific,
00:08the attractions in Camotes Island were hit by a surprise from Rod Laguzan.
00:14In the continued push of the Department of Tourism in the country's Gastronomy and Food Tourism,
00:20it was also given that it is not just about the food,
00:23because it is connected to the tourist destinations of Camotes Island.
00:28This is one of the reasons why the technical tours were held
00:31at the United Nations Tourism Regional Forum on Gastronomy and Tourism for Asia and the Pacific
00:37were held in Cebu.
00:39These tours that will allow you to discover the natural beauty and landscapes of Cebu
00:45and experience the hospitality of the people of Cebu,
00:49Camotes Island in Cebu is a remarkable example of sustainable tourism development
00:55and community-based tourism efforts.
00:59For the local government of Poro, one of the four towns in Camotes Island,
01:03the support of the national government is a big help in promoting their tourism.
01:08We want to promote our local dishes here on our island,
01:14more on seafoods, especially in our area where we don't have big industrial plants.
01:22We are more on ecotourism because we are an island.
01:28What does the international delegate think of their experience in the Philippines
01:33and its position as a gastronomic destination?
01:36I think you're already there.
01:38I mean, it's absolutely amazing.
01:40I'm still eating over there.
01:41So I think Philippines, I've been to a lot of Asian countries in general as well,
01:45and I think Philippines is quite ahead in that area of gastronomy.
01:48It's absolutely wonderful.
01:49I think the first thing is the food.
01:51What we realized is very different from the other part, from Cebu as well,
01:55which shows different provinces have different food, different cuisines,
01:59and very rich in culture.
