The Comets made the first move. Mackenzi Tabbert served 5 straight points with three aces to give the Comets the lead. The Comets looked to set Mackenzi all over the court with her power. However, the Wildcats made a quick comeback on play up the middle by Sloan Boyce.

Boyce had a kill up the middle for a side-out and then a big block to put Cissna Park up, 23-17. The Wildcats Erica Walder put the last point up with her winning serving to take the first set.

PH tourism investment share expected to rise

Posted on by

MANILA, Philippines A boost in the share of travel and tourism industry in the countrys total annual investments is expected this year due to higher demand from international tourists, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).

WTTC said the share of travel and tourism in the countrys yearly investments take may jump to 3.8 percent this year from 3.6 percent last year.

WTTC, composed of international travel and tourism companies executives, said travel and tourism cornered an estimated P81.3 billion in investments in 2013.

The industry also contributed P1.29 trillion, or about 11.3 percent, to the countrys economy.

WTTC also estimated that direct and indirect jobs supported by the sector contributed 4.3 million jobs, or 11.3 percent of the countrys total workforce.

WTTC president and chief executive officer David Scowsill said the global travel and tourism sector contributed $7 trillion to the global economy, generating about 266 million jobs, or 8.9 percent of total employment. Travel and tourisms contribution to the world economy grew for the fourth consecutive year in 2013, helped especially by strong demand from international travelers, Scowsill said.

Visitor exports, the measure of money spent by these international tourists, rose by 3.9 percent at a global level year on year, to $1.3 trillion, and by over 10 percent within South East Asia, he added.

Scowsill said that while growth in travel and tourism demand is expected to continue, governments will have to do their part.

The outlook for travel and tourism for the next 10 years looks extremely favorable, with growth forecast of more than 4 percent annually. This will require governments to implement more open visa regimes and to adopt intelligent rather than punitive taxation policies, he said.

Scowsill added that it is key for public and private partnerships to ensure that long term infrastructure and human resource needs are planned responsibly and sustainably to absorb the inevitable growth that we are forecasting.

DISNEY CHANNEL/Tony Rivetti

Disney Channel's Boy Meets World update is bringing back a regular.

Rider Strong reprises his role as Shawn Hunter, Cory Matthews' best friend, in a holiday-themed episode of Girl Meets World, which follows Cory and Topanga's young daughter Riley. The live taping of the episode takes place Tuesday evening in Los Angeles.

STORY: 'Boy Meets World' EP on Follow-Up: Viewers Want 'This Type of Honest Show'

"It's like time travel," Strong tells The Hollywood Reporter exclusively. "I get to go back to high school, but now I have a clue of what's going on."

During the episode, the Boy Meets World alum will share the dinner table with the Matthews family, including Cory's parents Alan (William Russ) and Amy (Betsy Randle), as well as a scene with Riley's best friend Maya (Sabrina Carpenter), considered the "new Shawn."

THR exclusively debuts a photo between Strong and Carpenter as they share a moment by the window in the new Matthews household. Strong had positive words to say about the young Girl Meets World cast: "These kids are too talented for their own good."

STORY: Disney Channel's 'Girl Meets World' Gets Series Order

Strong is the latest Boy Meets World alum to head to the new series, joining William Daniels (Mr. Feeny, who appears in the pilot) and Lee Norris (Minkus). Though Strong was not originally announced as part of the Girl Meets World cast, executive producer Michael Jacobs in January 2013 told THR that the possibilities were there for more originals to appear, including Cory's brother Eric (Will Friedle).

"We sat down with them and talked about what their roles on the show might be," Jacobs said at the time. "Whoever wants to be part of this show will be and whoever wants to move on will. The most important thing is to see what the show is and then see what their part in it will be."
