Travel agencies organizing packaged tours to the Philippines for the European market have been told to look for other suitable destinations in the country since the closure of Boracay Island, European Chamber of Commerce Philippines (ECCP) President Guenter Taus said. Taus told reporters that the business group has encouraged tour organizers to shift from mainstream tourism -- going to top white sand beaches in the country -- to outdoor activities and green tourism for European tourists who would like to visit the Philippines. “We focus on the environment. We look at biking, hiking, outdoor activities,” said Taus.
