MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Cebu’s inclusion in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Network of Creative Cities affirms the wellspring of creative talent in the Queen City of the South, the Department of Tourism (DOT) said Friday as it hailed the recognition.<\/p>\n

On October 30, UNESCO listed Cebu in its Network of Creative Cities along with 65 other cities across the world under the Design category.<\/p>\n

“This international recognition on the Design Category affirms the wellspring of creative talents manifested in the furniture, fashion accessories and other sectors, the latest of which is in the global transportation hub (GTH) sector, evident in the first ever Resort Airport in the world \u2013 the Mactan-Cebu International Airport,” the DOT said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“The DOT lauds the leaders, shakers and movers of Cebu City for their significant involvement and active efforts leading to the inclusion of Cebu City in the list of the UNESCO Network of Creative Cities,” it added.<\/p>\n

In November 2017, UNESCO placed Baguio, the first in the Philippines, on its Creative Cities Network for the city\u2019s distinguished crafts and folk art.<\/p>\n

For its part, the DOT rallied more cities in the Philippines to join Cebu and Baguio in the prestigious network and “be considered as icons of sustainable urban development”.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll over the world, these cities, each in its way, make culture the pillar, not an accessory, of their strategy,\u201d UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said in announcing the 66 cities on October 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis favors political and social innovation and is particularly important for the young generations,” she added.<\/p>\n
