Now this is something interesting to witness, a tie-up with the Department of Tourism (DOT) to promote "bread" and "tourism".
Starting the project off with a Baking Academy and Bake-Off Competition, I would love to know more about this particular project and how everything will fit in. We would normally see "tourism" partnered with handicrafts, scenic spots, beaches, cultures, and ethnic people, airlines and other means of transportation, travel agencies, etc. It will be exciting to find out more.
Wazzup Pilipinas !
