My comment is based on the first page – the clincher page in any web-site, I suppose. I agree with the ranking with respect to Hong Kong. That one main picture is so spectacular and captures the electric excitement of the place that it makes me want to surf the site some more, and consider travelling. The Singapore web-site did not have an equally spectacular first page , but immediately gave the impression of a rich array of choices with the many sub-headings with pictures. Singapore takes my second vote.
The top 5 – Hong Kong, Thailand Singapore Malaysia and Indonesia web-sites were clearly designed with the tourist in mind – they were selling their country as a tourist destination.
The bottom three – sadly, including the Philippine – web-sites, in my opinion, seemed to be confused with their target audience, and with what they were selling. Was the site intended for tourists, or for their boss? Were they selling the Philippines (and other countries) as a tourist destination, or the Department of Tourism (or the other Dept/ministries of tourism) as supposedly doing its job? Sorry, I don’t think tourists care much about the Department or Ministry of Tourism’s latest programs and strategies, nor about tourism statistics.
The Philippine site also seemed to load slower than the others.
Clearly, reviewing and revising its web-site should be one of the DOT’s top and most urgent priorities (no cut and paste-hence stolen content, please, and no “test page” type remarks, but serious, creative, well considered and mindful efforts). In the meantime, I hope potential tourists visit more the blogs with much richer content, such as, of course, Market Manila , and a number of others, as well as other media, to find there is indeed good reason to visit the Philippines.
Furthermore, Mr. Roaring briefed the Chamber on trade and investment opportunities between the Philippines and Pakistan. He cited agricultural and food products, as well as automotive components and electrical materials for possible exports to Pakistan. For investment cooperation between the two countries, Mr. Roaring identified key areas, such as mining, energy, infrastructure, information technology, and education, where joint ventures could be established.
