Ben Line Agencies- Philippines – Cruise Sector
In its effort to strengthen the country’s cruise tourism portfolio, the Department of Tourism (DOT) partnered with the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to launch the Cruise Visa Waiver (CVW) Program. The initiative aims to streamline tourism visa processes and attract more international cruise ships to the country, further expanding the Philippines’ status as a premier cruise destination in Asia.
The launch featured messages of support and attendance from key government officials from the Department of Justice, Bureau of Immigration, Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority, Department of Foreign Affairs, Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) and Ben Line Agencies. Capt Terence Uytingban of Ben Line Agencies delivered the message of appreciation representing the private sector, while our dedicated cruise team led by Marilou Bailon and Ma. Dominique Towanna also participated in the event.
Ben Line Agencies is committed to offering the best possible operational, and compliance, service levels to the burgeoning Cruise sector across Asia Pacific.
