Mountain Dew fuels summer adventures

-

IF this summer season is any indication, it seems more Filipinos are starting to regain their lives by returning to their pre-pandemic routine. Many are exploring more places, as if on a “revenge travel” mode.

A forecast from the Department of Tourism

(DoT) noted that domestic trips may reach 84.8 million in 2022, 90 percent of the total number of domestic trips in 2019.

Market intelligen­ce firm, Colliers Philippine­s, also believes that domestic tourists will boost the tourism sector once again. This is due to eased travel restrictio­ns both here and abroad. The Holy Week 2022 served as a proof point.

From Baguio to Boracay, hordes of Filipino tourists visit for their “much-needed break.” The City Tourism Office of Baguio showed that the city has more than 80,000 approved travel registrati­ons arriving from April 8 to 17. As for Boracay, a news report mentioned that more than 21,000 tourists arrived in the province.

True to its slogan, “Fuel for Adventure,” Mountain Dew is joining Filipinos across the world in discoverin­g more about life beyond the pandemic. Together, seeking thrills and restarting the fun as we move forward to living in a post-pandemic future.

“We are thrilled to see more people taking in new adventures this summer. It is a stark contrast to how we were living our lives during the same period last year. These days, we are almost resuming where we left off, slowly but surely and safely. A bottle of Mountain Dew could be a good pair in fueling our days ahead,” said Frederick D. Ong, president and chief executive officer of Pepsi-Cola Products Philippine­s Inc. (PCPPI), the exclusive manufactur­er of PepsiCo beverages in the country.

Mountain Dew is sold in supermarke­ts, groceries, convenienc­e stores and sari-sari stores nationwide.

PCPPI is the exclusive manufactur­er of well-known beverage brands like Pepsi-Cola, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Tropicana, Lipton, Sting, Premier, Milkis and Aquafina.
