With summer holiday
just around the corner, Dubai-based celebrity, model and fitness guru Rania
Gamal went to the Philippines recently to discover breathtaking places that
will surely enjoy by people living in Dubai and the rest of the Middle East
region and will be the perfect getaway destination for the upcoming holiday
season.
BATANGAS and MANILA
Rania Gamal visited
one of the country’s popular summer
destinations for locals – Batangas. Rania stayed at Acuatico Beach and Resort Hotel that was
owned by the famous Filipino designer Mama Rene Salud’s family. During
her stay, Rania enjoyed the stunning beach and sunset in the property. She has
experience local food like seafood, Batangas lomi, Barako coffee, to name a
few, where she found exactly right for Middle Easterns to try.
During her stay in
Batangas, Rania also had a photoshoot for Playboy Philippines’ Renegade issue where she is on their
prestigious cover and for luxury travel magazine Xpedition Middle East.
After Batangas,
Rania explored the bustling city of Manila where she stayed at City of Dreams
in Pasay City.
With close to
100,000 tourist arrival from the Middle East region in 2016, Rania encourages
more people from region to visit the Philippines and explore its stunning
beaches and hospitable people.
“I plan to visit
more cities in the Philippines on my next visit. I would like to explore the
beaches of Boracay and Palawan as I heard they have the world’s best beaches and
coastlines”
“With Middle Eastern
continuously looking for a place to spend their holidays, I believe that it is
high time for Philippines to be recognize as the MUST SEE summer destination
most especially for Middle Eastern travelers”
“I hope that many
establishment will cater more to Muslim tourists like halal food options and
halal kitchen so Muslim travelers will be more confident on visiting the
country”
The Middle East
market are known as quality travelers – they stay longer
and spend bigger compared to other to tourism markets.
Rania Gamal plans
to collaborate further with Philippine Department of Tourism Middle East office
to further promote the Philippines in the Middle East region.
