Apparently, the DOT's replacement for “WOW Philippines” is “Pilipinas, Kay Ganda”. The tourism department received a lot of criticisms about the change. Critics questioned the rationale behind the change and whether using the local language will attract tourists. WOW Philippines has been used in the past years and was an effective promotional phrase because it is short, easy to remember and can easily be understood by everyone especially the foreigners. Conceptualized by then tourism chief and now Senator Richard Gordon, the word "WOW" means "Wealth of Wonders" among others.…

I do commend the Department of Tourism for coming up with the “It’s More Fun in The Philippines campaign. They are trying to hype up the tourism in the Philippines, yes. However, In all honesty, I don’t see much of the advertisements around. I remember before when the Tourism in the Philippines centered around the phrase “Wow Philippines”. Along Roxas boulevard, flew tarpaulins and signs that had that exact phrase. As you got closer and closer to CCP, more and more fliers would start to pop up. If not for the internet, I would have never actually found out about “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” campaign. Sites like Facebook and Twitter were affected by the campaign, as I did see some pictures in some places, but other than that, no other real advertising. Even now, I don’t see much of it on Facebook at all.…
