Bohol in Taiwan's ice cream ad

The pristine white beaches, crystal-clear waters, and historical landmarks, are  among the attractions of Bohol that captivated the makers of DuRoyal, the number one ice cream brand in Taiwan, which led them to make it the location for their ad campaign shoot for 2009.

Every year, DuRoyal spearheads a unique promotional drive for their summer months, and this year they chose Bohol, Philippines for their main location.  The campaign also includes a raffle that would entitle one hundred lucky winners to a dream trip to the country.

According to Secretary Ace Durano of the Department of Tourism (DoT), whose team hosted the crew for the duration of their shoot, “The country’s exposure in an international commercial for a successful ice cream brand reaffirms our country’s position as a best-selling summer destination.  Our partnerships with leading companies continue to strengthen the Philippines’ international marketing links.”

Durano added that at the recent visit of DuRoyal executives in Bohol, they were impressed with the hospitality of the Boholanos as well as its serene and appealing environment.

Eduardo Jarque, Jr., Undersecretary for Tourism Planning and Promotions, also noted, “The producers commented that Bohol was the perfect choice for their ice cream brand’s latest ad campaign, to be launched in time for the summer holidays in Taiwan.”

DuRoyal was declared as the number one ice cream brand in Taiwan, according to Breakthrough Magazine, their country’s leading publication, and the International Center of Photography (ICT) Marketing Year Book.

Aiming at providing quality ice cream to the Taiwanese market because of its strict selection of the world’s finest ingredients for their products, DuRoyal maintains the highest standards.

In fact, DuRoyal’s bestselling product Crunch Pie overtook McDonald’s and Coca Cola as the leading consumer product in the Taiwanese market.

Their packaging design was awarded the Taiwan Packaging Star for five consecutive years, also receiving theWorldstar Excellence in the international competition.

Dir. Rica Bueno, Marketing Head for DoT Team Asia Pacific, said,“One of the highly-regarded consumer brands in Taiwan choosing the Philippines as the main highlight of their campaign is a privilege we are grateful for.”

The TV commercial is part of the joint promotions campaign of the DoT and DuRoyal to feature the RP's attractions through its ice cream product line.

Good news, the DuRoyal company which is behind the ice-cream ad with Bohol as its background locale is also pledging to help boost Bohol's tourism. Here's the latest update:


Government seeks to reverse drop in tourists from Taiwan
BusinessWorld

THE PHILIPPINES’ representative office in Taiwan has tied up with airlines and other firms there in a bid to reverse the drop in Taiwanese tourist arrivals seen in the first half of the year.

The Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) said in a statement yesterday that the number of tourists who arrived from Taiwan in January-June was 14.9% less than the same period last year. MECO cited the global financial crisis and the pandemic scare as factors that discouraged travel.

The agency said it is stepping up marketing efforts shared with TransAsia Airways, China Airlines and Philippine Airlines to boost tourist arrivals in the remaining months. It has also partnered with Taiwanese ice cream brand DuRoyal to provide trips to Bohol as raffle prizes. The ice cream firm is reportedly spending $14.2 million to advertise the the promotion and set up a Bohol tourism Web site. The Philippines will also participate in the Taipei International Travel Fair in October, MECO said. — JADH

Ug wa pa na-appreciate sa mga foreigners, ang Bohol  dili matagad sa mga locals. Basta mosikat sa laing nasod, ayha ra pud nato tagdon.
