The Department of Tourism and WarnerMedia’s Cartoon Network continue their partnership in the new S.A.F.E.T.R.I.P. campaign video starring Scarlet Snow Belo and the Powerpuff Girls.
The campaign encourages everyone to start traveling safely around the country now that leisure travel is allowed with emphasis to follow S.A.F.E.T.R.I.P. guideline which stands for Sanitize, Avoid (mass gatherings), (wear) Face masks, (use) Electronic payments, (always have your) Temperature checked, (follow) Rules and regulations, (stay updated on the latest) Information, and (observe) Physical distancing.
“Now that more destinations reopen for local travelers, we have to remind everyone to travel with their health and safety as the topmost priority,” said Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat. “As quarantine restrictions have eased, point-to-point travel from NCR Plus to other MGCQ areas for leisure is now allowed with no age restrictions, subject to a negative RT-PCR test result. This campaign of the DOT featuring Scarlet Belo and the Powerpuff Girls aims to inform our travelers on what they should do to keep themselves and other travelers safe while embarking on new and more fun adventures,” she added.
In a recent trip to Bohol, Secretary Puyat took Scarlet, together with her parents, Dr. Vicki Belo and Dr. Hayden Kho, around the different beautiful and child-friendly destinations in the province such as the Chocolate Hills and the Philippine Tarsier Foundation’s sanctuary. They also visited the award-winning bean-to-bar chocolatier, Dalareich Chocolate House, and took the river cruise at the Loboc River Resort.
The DOT encourages travelers to check the official websites of the destinations they are planning to visit, as well as www.philippines.travel/safetrip for the latest updates on open destinations, travel restrictions, and entry requirements and protocol.
