Embark on a journey through Manila’s heart as the Philippines Hop-On-Hop-Off (HOHO) Bus Tours unveils its newest stop, the Entertainment Hub, offering a fusion of modern entertainment and cultural heritage.
Philippine’s Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco unveiled Manila’s newest gem, the Entertainment Hub, on Thursday, marking the third stop of the Philippines Hop-On-Hop-Off (HOHO) Bus Tours. Positioned as a leading destination, this venture aims to showcase Manila’s diverse offerings, combining premier recreational facilities with rich cultural landmarks.
Secretary Frasco highlighted the Entertainment Hub’s strategic significance, emphasizing its role in amplifying Manila’s allure to both local and international visitors. With its blend of modern entertainment complexes and historical treasures, the hub promises a unique and immersive experience for tourists exploring the city.
Traversing through the vibrant cities of Pasay and Paranaque, the HOHO tour now navigates tourists through Manila’s entertainment hotspots. From the iconic Ninoy Aquino International Airport to the bustling SM Mall of Asia, the route covers 13 designated stops, providing convenient access to key destinations.
The launch event, graced by national and local government officials, tourism stakeholders, and media representatives, showcased the curated tour itinerary, featuring premier destinations such as the Mall of Asia, Newport World Resorts, and City of Dreams. This initiative underscores the collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors to elevate Manila’s tourism landscape.
In addition to its physical expansion, the HOHO tour introduces a digital dimension, empowering travelers with a user-friendly mobile application. Through the app, tourists can customize their itineraries, access real-time bus schedules, and explore nearby attractions with ease, enhancing their overall experience.
Looking ahead, the Entertainment Hub sets the stage for Manila’s Layover Tours, catering to transit passengers seeking unforgettable experiences during their stopovers. With ambitious goals set for Manila’s tourism industry, Secretary Frasco and DOT-NCR Regional Director Sharlene Batin envision a vibrant future, positioning Manila as the ultimate tourism gateway to the Philippines.
