The Cebu City Tourism Commission (CCTC) opened its Balik Cebu booth at the Ayala Center Cebu today as part of its Balik Cebu program that’s now on its 15th year.
Balikbayans can buy tickets for some of the numerous events lined up for January, including the Miss Cebu 2016 pageant and the Sinulog Parade.
They can inquire about tour packages at the booth, located in the Ayala Activity Center near Paseo Marina.
Tetta Baad, chairperson of CCTC said they will be welcoming the balikbayans with a dinner party on January 14.
The dinner party is in keeping with Cebu’s theme, ‘Cebu: Where the Heart Sings’.
The party will showcase all-Cebuano talents and acts.
Baad said they are anticipating more tourists to arrive this year.
While majority of the balikbayans are from the US, Baad said they are also receiving more balikbayans from European countries such as Germany and Russia.
