This is in line with the ASEAN vision of making the region globally competitive.

 

bai Hotel Cebu's Director of Sales and Marketing Armie Soliano received the recognition. The plaques were personally presented by Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco to the recipients from the Philippines.

 

This is bai Hotel Cebu's second win of the ASEAN MICE Venue Standard,
