September 8 to 11 were four exciting days in Bohol when the province welcomed the 2015 Miss Universe- New Zealand candidates who were in a goodwill visit to our country. 

It gave the girls a glimpse of the province’s culture and help promote the Philippines especially Bohol to New Zealand.

TRIP ITINERARY

Their itinerary in Bohol included a Loboc River Cruise, Philippine Tarsier Conservation Park, Chocolate Hills Adventure Park and Spa (CHAPS)  and dinner at Bohol Bee Farm. 

The group also joined a Heritage (Eco-Cultural) Tour to different Municipalities of Bohol, among those mentioned are Sabima Mangrove Plantation, Tubigon Loom Weaving Center, had lunch at Maribojoc Organic Farm and had their courtesy call to Gov. Edgar Chatto before flying back to Manila.  All their activities were uploaded daily at their YouTube Channel & Facebook Page. 



 The visit is a perfect opportunity for Bohol to be known in the Asia- Pacific region and around the world since the main purpose of the event is to advertise the Philippines, especially Bohol to New Zealand through social media, television advertisements, daily updates and online streaming weeks leading to the grand coronation night with an expected reach of 773,800 followers on social media, 100,000 on International webcasts and 1,000,000 followers based on the 2014 Grand Finals data.
