BRING HOME A FRIEND PROGRAM
"Magtulungan para sa bayan...
Isang turista lang ang kailangan!"
What is Bring Home A Friend Program?
Bring Home a Friend Program is a promotional program of Iligan City Tourism Office with the short term objective of increasing Iligan's tourist influx. In the long term, more tourists will translate to economic development concretely manifested through increased income, more employment opportunities and more investments.
Would it be too much to ask each Iliganon to invite and bring at least ONE (1) foreign or domestic visitor to Iligan?
We may not have a huge tourism promotional budget but we have Iliganons in the Philippines and all over the world who love their hometown and still care for the upliftment of the quality of lives of their fellow Iliganons. If we have 20,000 Iliganons invite ONE tourist to Iligan in one year, Iligan City would get 20,000 additional tourists. And if 20,000 Iliganons per month invite just ONE tourist, Iligan would have 240,000 tourists in one year. That figure would be a huge jump from the 2009 total tourist influx of 89,317! Imagine what Bring Home a Friend could do to the tourism industry in Iligan City. Bring Home a Friend, therefore, is an appeal to the sense of community and love for our city.
