楊秘書長表示，2014年，中國—東盟雙方互訪游客近1800萬人次，其中與菲律賓互訪游客137萬人次；今年前三季度，中菲游客互訪分別同比增長了16.4%和2.7%，發(fā)展勢頭良好。相信中心與菲旅游部在馬尼拉和宿務舉辦的旅游從業(yè)者職業(yè)教育培訓班將加深菲業(yè)界對旅游市場的了解，從而為游客提供更高水平的服務。楊秘書長還向與會代表們簡要介紹了中心為推動中國—東盟在貿(mào)易、投資、教育、文化和旅游領域開展務實合作等情況。

本次培訓班將向菲旅游業(yè)界介紹中國旅游發(fā)展概況與現(xiàn)狀、出境旅游市場特點、電子商務和營銷以及旅游規(guī)劃成功案例等，得到菲旅游業(yè)界的積極響應。
