“We are very happy to see more Czechs getting interested in visiting the Philppines,” said Ambassador Ombra T. Jainal when Holiday World 2020 opened to the general public on 15 February 2020.
Visitors, with their families and friends, flocked to the PH stand to learn about the destinations in the Philippines, sights and activities, entry and stay regulations, travel time and accommodation, among others.
For visitors who had been to the Philippines, they came to share their beautiful experiences in the islands and to find out new destinations for future visits. “We’ve been to the Philippines many times and we want to know what else we can see,” said a couple.
Ambassador Jainal earlier expressed the same sentiments with some of the major travel and tours agencies when he visited their stands at the tourism trade fair on 14 February 2020. CK Livingstone (www.livingstone.cz), China Tours (www.chinatours.cz) and Nomád, s.r.o. (www.nomad.cz) conveyed to the Ambassador that their tours to the Philippines are always sold out. According to them, Czech tourists are amazed at the natural wonders of the Philippines, especially in Palawan, Cebu, Bohol and Boracay. Czechs also appreciate the man-made Banaue Rice Terraces and the culture and traditions of Filipinos in Northern Luzon.

Ms. Marie Bardounová, Head of Sales Department, receives Ambassador Ombra T. Jainal at the stand of Delfin Travel at Holiday World 2020 at PVA Expo Praha on 15 February 2020.
Ambassador Ombra T. Jainal led the Philippine Embassy team in marketing a more fun holiday and retirement for young and senior citizens of the Czech Republic in the Philippines at Holiday World 2020 at PVA Expo Praha on 13-16 February 2020.
At the tourism trade fair, Ambassador Jainal met with Ms. Marie Bardounová, Head of the Sales Department of Delfin Travel, a Czech company specializing in tours for citizens over 55 years old. Ms. Bardounová was pleased to know of the Philippine Government’s Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRR Visa) program and assured the Ambassador that the program will be conveyed to the company’s product management division.
Visitors to the PH stand, especially those who have traveled to different destinations in the Philippines and experienced the hospitality of Filipinos, were interested to know more on the benefits of retiring in the Philippines.
An Austrian citizen expressed his excitement to finally be able to retire in the Philippines with the SRRV. He stated that it was perhaps serendipitous that he passed through the door where the SRR Visa standee was located as he had been looking for ways to stay longer in the Philippines for some time now. He previously visited Cebu and Bohol.
Some visitors were surprised to know that they can retire in the Philippines as early as 35 years old and with only a minimum amount of investment.
