Europe’s store sends buyers to Manila

Europe’s top department store chain is sending two of its export buyers to Manila to check out the best that the Philippines can offer, the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM) said.

Rosvi C. Gaetos, CITEM executive director, said the buying mission followed after a sales mission in Spain where she met with the top executives of El Corte Ingles, Europe’s leading international department store chain.

"El Corte Ingles will send buyers from its offices worldwide to the Manila FAME (Furnishings and Apparel Merchandise Exchange) International for the first time after a very long absence,” said Gaetos who had sent a personal invitation to their chief executive officer.
