MANILA, PHILIPPINES, May 16, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Brian Poturnak, successful businessman from the City of Makati, has recently launched an awareness campaign, aimed at promoting tourism and travel to the Philippines. The Canadian expatriate has lived there for 14 years and is encouraging others to consider the Southeastern Asian country as a vacation or business travel destination.
"The Philippines is a beautiful country and I want to let others know that it's a great place to both visit and live," said Brian Poturnak, father of three and successful entrepreneur.
"With over 7,100 islands, there are a lot of potential destinations that visitors can choose from. The country is not only an excellent tourist destination, but there are also unique business opportunities here as well," Poturnak added.
Brian Poturnak noted that he is promoting his country of residence because it makes "good business sense" and wants to spur economic and tourist activity. Poturnak also wants others to experience the beauty of the islands.
With volcanic landscapes, vibrant coral waters, beautiful mountains and an emerging economic system, the Philippines has something for everyone.
"I enjoy tennis, golf, jet skiing and hiking -- all of which are readily available," noted Brian Poturnak.
Much like other countries around the world, he said the Philippines were affected by the recent economic downturn. There are signs, however, that the worst may be over.
"Recent reports suggest that things are bottoming out and are showing signs of an economic recovery. The future looks very bright here," Porturnak said.
