The Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT) is currently hosting ten members of the South Korean media on a familiarisation tour of Northern Mindanao. The tour seeks to promote the southern Philippine region’s diverse tourism destinations and overall potential.

On Thursday, July 3, DOT-Northern Mindanao director Marie Elaine Unchuan advised local media that those participating in the five-day tour included a mix of journalists and independent content creators.
