Pinas handa na para sa hosting ng 2030 Asiad--Romero
MANILA, Philippines — Handang-handa ang Pilipinas na mag-host ng Asian Games sa taong 2030, ayon kay 1-Pacman Partylist Rep. Mikee Romero.
Hinikayat ni Romero ang kasalukuyang administrasyon na gamitin din ang mga international sporting event para akitin ang mga turista bilang paraan sa pagpapaunlad ng ekonomiya ng bansa.
“Many studies show the positive correlation of sports tourism through the hosting of sporting events like the Olympics, World Cup and the Asian Games with the boost in tourism revenues as well as economic activities for the hosting country,” sabi ni Romero.
Binanggit ni Romero ang “Build, build, build” program ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte bilang bahagi sa preparasyon ng bansa para sa 2030 Asian Games, na kung matutuloy ay magiging ikalawang beses na gaganapin sa Pilipinas, ang una ay noong 1954.
“While we were trumpeting our passion for basketball, China had the decided edge in government support and infrastructure as well as transportation facilities like roads, playing venues and even its airport. It even had the sterling record of hosting international competitions like the Asian Games and even the Olympics,” dagdag ni Romero.
“So if we are even to dream of hosting the Asian Games, which we have not hosted since 1954, or even the Olympics, then we should really take a look at our tourism as well as transport infrastructure like a new international gateway,” aniya.
Inumpisahan na ng Duterte administration ang pagpapatayo ng international standard sporting venues sa New Clark City sa Tarlac para gamitin sa hosting ng bansa sa 30th Southeast Asian Games sa susunod na taon.
