The First Tourism Song in Western Visayas set for Oct. 25 Launch 

The flourishing tourism industry has created a great impact in the development of Western Visayas as the center of tourist influx in the Philippines.  With internationally known tourism destinations such as the world-famous Boracay Island, cultural heritage sites in Iloilo, famous inland resorts in Negros Occidental, and nature-tripping places in Antique, the tourism industry in Western Visayas remains attractive to visitors and tourists. In an effort to passionately capture the significance of promoting the tourism industry, the Department of Tourism Region VI together with 8finity Events, RSLPhoenix Music, Western Visayas College of Science and Technology and SM City Iloilo, gathered the best and most talented music artists in the region to produce and record the original tourism song entitled “Lagaw ‘Ta (Experience Western Visayas).”  The tourism song combines English and Hiligaynon lyrics that convey a heartfelt message of inspiring visitors and locals to promote the tourism industry, re-discovering beautiful places, sights and sound that emphasize Western Visayas as the booming center of traveling and cultural destinations. Hampang Productions is set to produce and creatively direct the official music video of the tourism song, the first of its kind in the region. Together with the music artists coming from different provinces in Western Visayas, they will shoot in various tourism sites and destinations to complete the music video.

“Lagaw ‘Ta” is set to be launched on October 25, Friday, 2 p.m. at SM City Iloilo Events Centre as part of “SIGHTS & SOUND 2.” The event will also highlight the awarding of the top 3 winners of DOT 6’s Tourism Comics Contest, the official trailer launch of “Ang Bantay (The Keeper)” dubbed as the first animated movie produced in Iloilo City set for 2014 release and a travel-inspired fashion show that will introduce the newest travel magazine in the Philippines.  The event is also co-presented by Panay News, Skycable-Iloilo, Shana Lacs Spa and Tibiao Fish Spa.
