In celebration of the World Tourism Day, the Department of Tourism Region 7 is organizing the 12th Asean Summit Official Drink Competition on Sept. 27 at the lobby lounge of the stylish Cebu Parklane International Hotel.
This unique competition encourages the competitive and creative spirit of the Cebuanos, as the talented bartenders of the different participating hotels and resorts battle and mix it out for a unique and distinctively Cebuano cocktail drink. The winning drinks, for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic category will be served as the welcoming drink for the delegates attending the Asean Summit to be held in Cebu on Dec. 11-14.
This event is spearheaded by the DOT-7 Regional Director Patria Aurora B. Roa, who is also the Chairman of the F&B Sub-Committee for the Asean Summit-Cebu Organizing Committee. Other members of the F & B Committee are the Department of Health and the Office of Muslim Affairs.
According to Dir. Roa, this drink should make the delegates feel more welcome aside from the usual courtesies that they will receive when they arrive. Aside from that, this official drink will give them a unique taste and impression of Cebu.
