ACA No.1

Advantages

Social media sites are great for building customer relationship and offers an incredible reach

and the opportunity to connect with customers in an entirely new way

Disadvantages

Visitors mainly go to social media sites to socialize, and are not interested in advertising

ACA.No.2

Advantages

Traffic generated can be extremely targeted

Disadvantages

Traffic is typically in the learning stage of the buying process; hence it is more important to

inform and teach than sell outright

ACA.No.3

Advantages

Social media tools are relatively inexpensive

Disadvantages

 Social media can be a hard branding tool for small businesses, and it is not easy to build

awareness, create appeal and generate traffic

VII. Final Decision

 Department of Tourism must develop more promotional ads for television,

radio and to spread it to social networking site. They should encourage fellow

Filipino’s to get more involve to “It’s more fun in the Philippines” campaign.

VIII. Detailed Action Plan

 To become one of the top tourist destinations in the world, we have to

maintain and develop our natural wonders and man-made structures. The

government should give their full support to ensure that they will achieve the

target goals.
