MANILA, Philippines – The Tourism Congress of the Philippines (TCP) will bring the first ever tourism career fair to Visayas and Mindanao this November.

TCP executive vice president Aileen Clemente said job opportunities in the tourism industry are already extending outside Metro Manila as the bulk of tourism development projects are moving to the southern part of the country.                                                               

Clemente said some hotel chains and resorts have already entered the market, or are expanding their operations in the country to take advantage of the growing domestic and foreign arrivals in the Philippines.

“The country has a growing middle class. And beyond our top markets abroad, the country is welcoming tourists from more European countries, the Middle East and India,” she said.

“This is the best time for Filipinos to become part of the country’s tourism industry.  Instead of going abroad, we are seeing competitive career opportunities locally,” she added.

With this, the TCP will bring about 30 tourism-related companies to participate in the Visayas and Mindanao leg of the Tourism Career and Hospitality Fair.
