THE CASINO Filipino-Davao is aiming to attract more local and foreign tourists with the launch of its new marketing slogan, “Excitement Begins Now.” Antonio V. Covarrubias, senior branch administration manager, said that currently, they cater to average of 500 clients a day who are mostly locals. “They visit the casino not only for table games and slot machines, they also go for the show, meet friends, live bands, and not necessarily to play,” Mr. Covarrubias said in an interview. “We are now positioning casino as an entertainment destination for tourists, particularly foreigners,… In Davao, we have so many attractions like tourism-related places, and casino is a different form of entertainment and for us is an added excitement when you visit Davao,” he added. — Maya M.
