Flora Filipina (Philippine Flowers)
Good prospects for horticulture industry cited
From MANILA STANDARD TODAY
Commercial growers and hobbyists have cited the great potential of the Philippines as a major exporter of ornamental horticulture products.
At the opening ceremony of the Flora Filipina Expo in February 2006, the Philippine Horticultural Society Inc. and the Philippine Orchid Society have committed to join together in putting the local industry at par with those of Thailand and Singapore.
The Department of tourism (DOT) aims to promote cultural spots, rather than the numerous white sand beaches dotting the country's 7,000 plus islands, according to a report by GMANews. "This year we are going beyond the sun and sea destinations. We want to highlight our cultural and heritage sites as well as health and wellness destinations," Tourism Secretary Alberto Lim was quoted as saying.
