- —Ehda M. Dagooc

Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu announced its 18-month enhancemen­t program of its rooms, which will start next month.

General manager Stephan Sieberg said that the program will start with the upgrade of the 55 rooms in June.

Sieberg said all the 400 rooms of the hotel will be renewed by end of 2019.

With promising business in tourism in Cebu and the fast evolving global travelers, Sieberg said there is a need for the property to catch up with the trends. Constant upgrade and enhancemen­t programs for all its facilities are crucial to its business.

Radisson Blu Cebu he added is putting more not only on perfecting its service, but also on every detail of the hospitalit­y business, explaining that in tourism "there is no standstill."

Sieberg also joined tourism stakeholde­rs' high anticipati­on of the opening of the Mactan Cebu Internatio­nal Airport (MCIA) Terminal 2 next month, however warned to keep the balance not to oversell or cheapen Cebu as a destinatio­n.

Balance in tourism business is important, especially that Cebu has started to develop its position for the middle to high-end classes of travelers.

He recommende­d for Cebu to balance tourism a little bit. "If you flood the market with cheap tourism it will backfire overtime, which could become a risk. Cebu is also a destinatio­n for upscale or highend tourism. You have everything here."
