Department of Tourism Philippines, Philippine Tourism Weekend
Promoting Philippine Tourism with a 3-day pop-up festival in London that captured the essence of various Philippine islands…
To capture the vibrant essence of the Philippines, we crafted an imaginative strategy that embraced the unique characteristics of seven distinct islands. We designed an immersive experience that celebrated the rich tapestry of Filipino culture and aimed to entice a global audience to a wider audience.
Over the course of a thrilling three-day pop-up festival by the Thames, visitors were transported to the Philippines without leaving London. The festival featured a variety of attractions: a heart-pounding zip wire experience that shared the adventurous spirit of Bohol, an electrifying DJ Beach Party inspired by the renowned shores of Boracay, and cutting-edge VR simulations that brought the stunning terraces of Banaue to life.
“I just wanted to send my huge thanks and deepest appreciation to Audience for all the help and assistance you have provided the Philippine Embassy! I want to take this opportunity once again to say “maraming salamat” – thank you very much!”
Minister and ConsulEmbassy of the Republic of Philippines
Throughout the event, over 100,000 guests eagerly stamped their Philippine passports as they journeyed through each island's unique offerings. Social media buzzed with activity as participants tweeted about their experiences for a chance to win a dream trip to the Philippines. Exclusive supper clubs hosted for dignitaries and press, a branded taxi cruising the capital to spread the word, and an array of engaging competitions ensured that the event made waves both on-site and online.
The festival not only elevated the visibility of the Philippines but also sparked widespread interest and engagement, effectively broadening its appeal and capturing the imagination of potential travellers around the globe.
