KALESA FESTIVAL 3

PICTURES for you!

The Philippine Tourism Authority proudly hosted its Third Kalesa
Festival with the theme: "Kalesa, Duyan ng Turista" last September 14, 2007 at the Tourism ground, T.M. Kalaw St. Ermita, Manila.

The Kalesa Festival was conceptualized in recognition of the unending and humble contribution of present day kalesa. Historically, kalesa is a horse driven carriage introduced by Spanish Officials and nobles as means of transportation during the 18th century. Now, kalesas are often seen at Chinatown and various tourism spots in our country, as major attraction and vital part of Philippines history.

                           

This endeavor paved the way for the Philippine Tourism Authority to promote its 19 entities. It has drawn out support to patronize our government operated tourist destinations with the slogan: "Pilipino sa Tourismo ay Aktibo."
