The Domestic Promotions Department of the Tourism Promotions Board, in partnership with the Department of Tourism-Region VI (DOT-6), recently conducted a Familiarization Tour-Product Update Program for tour operators and relevant trade media.

Among the products included were an eco-park and river cruise in Capiz, an overnight stay in Sicogon Island, island hopping in Concepcion, a tour of Iloilo City, and a heritage tour in Negros Occidental.

According to DOT-6 director, Atty. Helen J. Catalbas, the tour included assessments of destinations, an inspection of facilities, presentations, and networking sessions.

“Each of the provinces of the Western Visayas has their own distinct tourism product and services to offer,” she said./WDJ
