DOT Taps Pinoys to be ‘Ambassadors of Fun’
Coinciding with the recent launch of the More Fun
Awaits Campaign, the Department of Tourism (DOT) calls on Filipinos to be “Ambassadors
of Fun” and promote their hometown’s tourist attractions using various social
media platforms.
![]() |
This is part of the DOT’s crowdsourcing campaign wherein netizens will become tour guides of their locale by posting their own virtual tours or sharing their own photos on their recommended destination, activity, or dishes.
The campaign aims to build interest on local destinations by assigning a weekly theme, such as must-visit destination, must-try activity, or must-sample cuisine, which will be the basis for the posts. It will tap both ordinary netizens and local content creators as ambassadors of fun.
For netizens, they can choose a platform—Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter—where they will post a photo or video of the destination/cuisine/activities in their area that they think should be experienced by tourists. The post should include the hashtags #MoreFunAwaits and #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines and must tag the official DOT social media pages.
Selected posts will be featured on DOT’s social
media pages or used as part of promotional campaigns for international
tourists.
The DOT has also collaborated with local content creators from different regions to share what’s new in their respective locales, such as the changes since the pre-pandemic period, new places or dishes they have discovered, and customs and traditions that continue to flourish or had been given a new twist to adapt to the new normal.
With more ambassadors of fun, the DOT sees the collaborative campaign as an effective way to show tourists, both local and foreign, what More Fun Awaits on their next trips to the different destinations in the country.

campaign, and travel updates and advisories about the Philippines, visit www.morefunawaits.com.

DOT and TikTok launch #GandaMoPinas Campaign as local borders reopen
With the easing of restrictions for leisure travel,
the Department of Tourism (DOT) and video-making and sharing app TikTok have
collaborated once again for a campaign that celebrates the beauty of the
country’s islands through #GandaMoPinas.
“The DOT is using all channels to promote our reopened
tourist destinations and this collaboration with TikTok is one way of enticing
people to travel locally while reiterating the importance of following the
minimum health and safety protocols when traveling,” said Tourism Secretary
Berna Romulo-Puyat.
The joint DOT and TikTok campaign will feature the
beauty of the Philippines through live video sessions with nine content
creators from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
The campaign will feature one content creator every
day, from September 22 to 30, in a live TikTok session that highlights the
beauty of his/her region or province through various tourism products like
natural landscapes, tourist spots, local cuisine, activities, and local
products. The content creators will showcase why #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines
and how visitors can appreciate #GandaMoPinas through their province or region.
The following are the nine content creators and their
schedule of Live TikTok sessions that will be streamed via their respective
TikTok accounts:
LUZON
VISAYAS
MINDANAO
The three
content creators with the highest number of views during the live show will be
recognized as TikTok Funfluencers—one from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Winners will be officially announced on October 4, 2021.
DOT’s previous
collaboration with TikTok, the #SarapMagingPinoy challenge in-app garnered over
700 video entries with over 70M video views, and its main video on Facebook has
garnered over 13M views.
