THE PHILIPPINES FEATURED IN ARGENTINE TRAVEL TV

The popular Argentine Travel TV show Resto Del Mundo, which is currently available in eighteen Latin American countries, featured the Philippines in three forty-minute episodes. The first episode was aired last 22 June 2019 in Channel 13 on the local TV network. It featured some locations in Intramuros and China Town in Manila, the business district in Makati City and shopping in the Global City in Taguig. The host of the show was able to interview Argentine business personalities living in Manila, including, La Cabrera’s executive chef Agustin Figueroa and LM10’s owner and celebrity Nicolas Bolzico with wife Solenn Heussaff.

For the second and third episodes the show featured the beautiful islands of Boracay and Taytay, Palawan. Both episodes showcased the breathtaking beaches and sceneries, local cuisine, handcrafts and its wonderful people.

The coverage was made possible through the assistance of the Philippine Tourism Office in Los Angeles and the Tourism Promotion Board (TPB) who assisted the host and the rest of the TV crew during their 2-week stay in the Philippines.

Because of the wide viewership of the program, the Philippine Embassy is confident that the episodes that featured some of the most beautiful locations in the Philippines will introduce the country as a top tourism destination in Asia in this side of the world. The three episodes are currently available in Vimeo and may be viewed thru the following links:
