Philippines Tourism

Thursday, March 11, 2010
The Philippines, is an archipelagic country located in Southeast Asia with Manila as its capital city. The Philippine archipelago comprises 7,107 islands in the western Pacific Ocean. Modern Filipino culture, though primarily Asian, has many more influences from the Western world than other nearby Asian cultures who have been able to retain more of their core Asian identity. Most of these influences are a product of previous colonization and derived mainly from the cultures of Spain and the United States, with a secondary influence from Latin American cultures who were under Spain during the same period the Philippines was. The influence from the United States being so strong that the Philippines continues to integrate newer American cultural influences into its culture even in this post-colonial period.

Tourism plays an important role in the Philippine economy. In the year 2000, net tourism income in the Philippine totaled to 2.1 billion U.S. dollars. Most of the foreign tourists came from the United States, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and The Netherlands. There were also tourists coming from Taiwan, Australia, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, Israel, Russia, France and Singapore.

As Buddhism flowed into the early Korean kingdoms, however, they only impressed the holy images on cliffs and boulders on their craggy granite mountains, but usually not in caves or grottos because those were previously being used for indigenous mountain-worship customs. It was only the Silla Kingdom grotto-temple is unfortunately less known than some of the world's other huge that shaped a few full-sized grotto-temples, frequently by building a structure outside of depression or cracks in cliffs with a few Buddhist carved images to create them seem like caves.

"We'll still remain and observe what the local government will do to push the declining property market," Chen said. Wenzhou, China's personal capital powerhouse in the southern region of Zhejiang, is among the richest areas in the country and the origin of self-made billionaires who are manufacturing clothes, shoes, and other small supplies like lighters.

Chen said he arrive to Dubai with nothing a decade ago. "As a Chinese businessman, I have the benefit of receiving products from factories directly in a shorter stage and with a minor price. I saw the huge possible from the popular Chinese-made goods." Chen released the first China town hall in 2000 in Dubai, where hundreds of service shops were built, run by Chinese merchants mostly from Wenzhou. Chen started two smaller commodity malls to join Wenzhou businessmen because he considers that unity is always a tradition for Wenzhou merchants.
