Miss Universe Bahrain 2023 Lujane Yacoub and Miss Universe Pakistan 2023 Erica Robin have been announced to be the new faces of the Phillippine Department of Tourism. They will be promoting hall and wellness travel in the country after winning the Emerging Muslim-Friendly Destination Award earlier this year. The campaign aims to invite travelers from Arab and Muslim in order to make them experience the Philippines. It is a diverse and vibrant destination that offers halal-certified services, facilities, and products. The Philippines received the Emerging Muslim-Friendly Destination Award in 2023 from the Halal International Chamber of Commerce and Industries of the Philippines in recognition of its efforts to cater to the needs and preferences of Muslim travelers. Led by Dubai-based Filipino Josh Yugen, who is the founder of Yugen PR & Events, the two Miss Universe queens arrived in Manila this weekend to collaborate with the Philippines Department of Tourism in promoting its “Halal and Wellness Tourism” campaign, inviting more travelers from Arab and Muslim countries to experience the Philippines. ‘Miss Universes’ trip to the Philippines would be a significant boost for our country that would hopefully influence the global Muslim community to visit the archipelago nation, which is home to white sand beaches, famous diving spots, lively entertainment, diverse cultural heritage and distinctive wildlife,” expressed Tourism Undersecretary Myra Paz Valderrosa-Abubakar. ‘We are delighted to initiate this alliance with the beauty queens representing Arab and Muslim countries to further spread awareness of our country’s offering,’ said Jennifer Sanvictores, Global Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications for The Farm at San Benito & CG Hospitality. ‘ It brings a greater opportunity to attract travellers, not only from the Gulf, but also from the ASEAN region to come to The Farm at San Benito or any destination in the Philippines that has Halal certification. We look forward to caring for the beauty queen’s well-being while they are here with us and help them put their best foot forward at the global pageant next month.’ Read Also: Montana: The Unique Treasure Trove Of The United States Glasgow City Council Moved To Offer More Bus Stops For Tourists Sri Lanka Has Approved Visa-Free Entry For Visitors From Six Countries Including India

Christmas lights, parades, and football bring a lot of people to Wheeling and Ohio County during this magical time of year, which also helps to boost the local economy. "The holiday season in Wheeling in Ohio County is perhaps the premiere time of the year," said Frank O’Brien, director, of Visit Wheeling. The Festival of Lights in Oglebay is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors. Along with hundreds of people attending the city's Winter on the Plaza event, thousands will congregate around Wheeling's Fantasy in Lights Parade. When you have several hundred thousand people spending time in your community, they spend anywhere between $3 to $5 million while they’re here, and sometimes, it's even more than that," O’Brien said. Many more will also swarm Wheeling Island Stadium for the Super Six High School Championship games. Large crowds are drawn to Wheeling's downtown by an increase in events and performances at WesBanco Arena and the capital theatre. Numerous people will be dining out, lodging in hotels, and making purchases from neighborhood merchants. And even though the city is lined with substantial construction, many people are still traveling there and managing to make ends meet. "We have been able to actually track some of that,” O’Brien said. “I'm not going to say that the roads are not a problem -- and the sidewalks being torn up is a problem -- but we are finding that people are still coming, primarily to the events at the arena and Capital Theatre." According to O'Brien, tourism generates about $800 million in revenue for the Northern Panhandle annually. Moreover, it's reasonable to anticipate making close to $10 million in the county just this season. "It's a crucial time for tourism in our area, and I think we do it better than anybody else," O’Brien said. As the holidays draw near, there will be plenty of opportunities to spread cheer and wealth.

According to a report, two of the most popular locations for tourists who want to spend their holidays in a tropical paradise are the Maldives and Bora Bora. Located on the Indian Ocean, they are now synonymous with clean azure water, pristine white beaches, and refreshing greenery. The islands, however, are very different from each other in that what the visitors can expect from the two places. The main differences between the locations are weather, accessibility, resorts, beaches, and activities. The islands cannot be chosen between them as there is no right answer. Both the islands are absolute treasures and have rightly taken their spots in the top 10 globally. Maldives Best visited in the dead of winter, this island is a drop of paradise on Earth. Featuring a 26-atoll chain of islands with white powdery beaches and turquoise waters, this chain of islands is the envy of all the islands of the world. The signature overwater bungalow resorts of Maldives make the experience even more surreal. Bora Bora This island is not just sun, sea, and beaches. Bora Bora is a major activity ground that includes 4x4 safaris and natural underwater parks that offer a look at the magnificent corals and fish. You can witness shark feedings and enjoy boat rides around the turquoise lagoon. There is also the 2,300-foot Mount Otemanu, from where the entire island is up for view from the top. Some of the other places that have secured the top spots are: Niagara Falls Consisting of the magnificent waterfalls that line the border of New York and Ontario. The Horseshoe Falls that stand at a height of 164 ft. is on the side of Canada. The Bridal Veil Falls and the American Falls are located on the North American side. Mona Lisa In Paris This half-length painting created by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci has managed to retain its immense fandom thanks to its rich and fascinating history. Kept in the Louvre Museum since 1797, people line up to have a glance at the famous painting that has become an icon of simplicity in art. The Statue Of Liberty, the Northern Lights, the Stone Henge, the Taj Mahal, the Times Square, and the Burj Khalifa have locked in on the other top 10 marks.
