Philippine Motorcycle rides hits the road as travel industry bounces back

Over 250 riders revved up and hopped on the Philippine Motorcycle Tourism (PMT) two-day ride which kicked-off at Rizal Park, Manila and covered Taal Lake Loop and Laguna Lake Loop, highlighting Calabarzon’s tourist spots.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines, in partnership with Breakfast Ride Community, DOT Region IV-A and different local government units of Calabarzon, spearheaded the innovative program to bring back the confidence of the public to travel within the country, upholding new normal health and safety protocols, on two wheels.

“Our current efforts are focused on boosting domestic tourism as a way for the tourism industry and the economy to recover. In line with this, motorcycle riders become our domestic tourism ambassadors to aid us in promoting fun and safe travel around the country. We are now on the road to sustain recovery and with the help of our riders, motorcycle clubs and associations, the tourism industry will be back in full swing in no time,” said Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat in her keynote address.
