Gawahon Eco-Park Opens October 28


It’s “All Systems Go” for the official opening and inauguration of Gawahon Eco Tourism Park set on October 28 2007.

It can be recalled that the development of the area started almost a decade ago and during those years, even with just limited funds set aside for its development, Victorias City has made it possible to make Gawahon Eco-Park an emerging tourist destination in the province of Negros Occidental.

The much awaited opening, for several occasions was postponed due to insufficient time for preparations and readiness of amenities/facilities for occupancy was impossible.

The grand opening promises a remarkable event for the city as it welcomes national government officials including Tourism and Environment Secretary Joseph Ace Durano and Jose Lito Atienza respectively. Regional and Provincial Officials together with the Association of Tourism Officers of Negros Occidental (ATONO) and former government officials who were instrumental in institutionalizing this project are also invited to come.

It will be a fun filled day for the constituency of Victorias. Cultural presentation will be held at the park and a free concert from local band will be provided to the people.

In the meantime, the project development office of Gawahon Eco-Park is making the necessary preparations for the opening. Structural facilities such as the Convention Hall, Multi purpose building, overnight cottages and the kidney shaped adult and kiddie pools are nearing its completion.
