sorry to say, I don't fully agree. first you should channel your opinion to TEAM U.S.A. of D.O.T. some time we also ask what wrong with the private dive business section. just for the China sector, I can said our Tourism attaches Gerry Panga are doing very well in promotion to china tourists just by the # of the last year arrival to Cebu n Boracay. Boracay dives shop is performing their share in intro diving to the chinese tourists, let said an average of 100 tourists per day, dive shop are able to get as least 20% of the tourists into D.S.D. the job of the government is to promote the country. but the private sectors really did a good jobs in marketing, w/c I don't think so! the best marketing man in china tourist into diving is me, since I find out private business don't really know how to do their share, I give up. and go back to regular tour guiding(N.G.O., I stop dealing with local D.O.T.too). Boracay don't have good site, but a few of the N.G.O. dive business know how to attract the D.S.D. businese, future open water divers come from D.S.D. too. but Cebu and Bohol still lack far behind in turning tourist into divers. D.O.T. do know how to promote, but the problem is Private sector don't know how to market. another top marketing board member is "bottom driller" don't ask what the government can do for us, but what we can do for our country. (example, a private dive shop in Boracay will to listen to my advise in atracting divers, with in less than 2 years from 0ne 2nd hand air compressor, into, I just deliver his 3rd compressor)

In all seriousness concerning exposure in the US things are changing and I hope to see more US based divers over here.

Jon,

I admire Richard Gordon a lot. Take a look at what he did to Angeles City. The DOT came to life with him on the helm. I wish he would run for President!

Phil (bisugo767)

he did run for president and got less than 500,000 votes.
