the finest adventure destinations.
In the forum, BCVB Executive Director Amboy Guevara, presented the new tourism map they have
designed and the pavilion that they will be creating for the PTM. He also presented the new adventure
destination and packages that BCVB will be promoting.
3. Baguio Centennial Parade
BCVB recently managed the Baguio Centennial Parade with the theme “Fostering a Culture of Caring last
September 1, 2009. The parade started at the Baguio Conventions Center, passed through the city’s
main streets and ended at the Baguio Athletic Bowl.
BCVB handled the program, security, logistics, coordination, secretariat. There were 4 floats & the
surrounding establishments and streets were decorated with flowers and signs depicting the centennial
logo. Some 7,000 residents, foreign & local tourists participated in the event including Baguio’s 6 sister
cities (Japan, Guam, Korea, Canada, US) and 22 sister cities in the Philippines. The parade was
highlighted by the performance of a group, called the 100 Dancers with 100 Steps.
The event was funded by the Baguio City LGU.

BCVB designed a new Baguio Tourism Map that includes adventure packages involving rapelling, rock
climbing, river surfing, airsoft fun games, fishing, kayaking, all-terrain vehicle (ATV), cave tours, Balatoc

The Baguio Map was initially funded by the Baguio City LGU. BCVB has plans of reproducing and the
production costs will come from ad placements since they will also put the logos of tourism
establishments.
5. Baguio Booth at the 19th Philippine Travel Mart
The recently concluded Philippine Travel Mart held last September 4-6, 2009 at SM Megamall,
Megatrade Hall is the 2nd time that Baguio joined. The Adventure theme of Baguio’s booth is to
reposition and repackage Baguio in order to capture other group of travelers and address the declining
number of tourists. The repackaging of Baguio is in partnership with Benguet since the latter will offer
adventure activities.
The Baguio City LGU funded the rent and design of the booth, hotel accommodations, meals and other
miscellaneous expenses. Victory Liner sponsored the transportation of the delegates. Baguio got a
positive response from the visitors. People were curious and at the same time interested on the
adventure packages that Baguio has to offer.
