A broad variety of waste products, including municipal solid debris, building and excavation debris, and industrial chemicals are disposed of in landfills. Landfill gas (LFG) is a natural consequence of organic waste degradation in landfills. If not adequately handled, these gases can be detrimental to the ecosystem as well as public health.
Marcio Favilla, the Executive Director for Operational Programs and Institutional Relations of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), highlighted the growing significance of intra-regional travel at the 6th UNWTO International Conference on Tourism Statistics being held from June 21-24, 2017 in Manila in the Philippines.
Favilla cited the phenomenal growth of Asia at 80% between Southeast Asia, China, South Korea, and Japan. He took note of the robustness and resiliency of the region through its continuing promotions.
The promotion process tells the world what these countries have to offer to the world, citing the Philippines as a prime example of a nation with “great advantage.”
