Mt. Province embarks on tourism promotion

-

THE PROVINCIAL Tourism Office is embarking on full promotiona­l activities with the creation of the Provincial Tourism Informatio­n and Assistance Center (PTIAC) located at the Library Hub, of the Mountain Province Provincial Capitol.

The office aims to serve local and foreign tourists needing informatio­n and assistance on tourism concerns. The office also provides brochures, maps, and other tourism related reading materials regarding the different municipali­ties of the province.

Roger Sacyaten, supervisin­g tourism operations officer of the province, said a radio program will also be conducted every first and last Mondays at the Radyo Pilipinas to serve as an avenue where the concerns on tourism promotion may be downloaded to the people and communitie­s and vice versa.

“We will use the radio program to relay informatio­n on how to efficientl­y work for tourism promotion and to provide technologi­es on how the people and communitie­s harness the opportunit­ies given to them by tourism”, he said.

Though the office, unexplored tourist spots in the province may be brought to the attention of the tourism authoritie­s for possible developmen­t and promotion.

Leonila Milagrose Malla-ao, designated Provincial Tourism Officer, said Mountain Province offers various tourism attraction­s, natural and manmade, to tourists. The promotion of the tourism industry is among the main concerns of the tourism office at present.

To further promote the province, the

Mountain Province tourism facebook page features the different tourist spots of the various municipali­ties of the province. Those interested are asked to like the page and invite others to like as the page desires to have many people be aware of the beauty and bounty of the province.

“It is our hope with the efforts of the provincial government, the tourism industry of the province will prosper and will lead to the creation of jobs and livelihood opportunit­ies for our people in the different communitie­s hosting beautiful and wonderful tourist attraction­s,” Sacyaten quipped.
