TIEZA, DOT Conduct Assessment, Evaluation In Victorias’ Tourism Sites

Department of Tourism (DOT) and Tourism Infrastructure Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) representatives conducted product assessment relative to the preparation of the Master Development Plan (MDP) on Tourism of Victorias City last Jan. 22-24.

Marie Recarro and Ezra Nicole Basto, representatives of DOT and Nemensio Duran and Efren Resoso of TIEZA evaluated the different areas in Victorias as they would also assist in the identification of possible tourism investment opportunities and give technical assistance in the preparation of the City’s MDP.

                Mayor Francis Frederick Palanca had a meeting with them and discussed possible improvements in facilities and tourism activities to be held at the tourist destinations to entice visitors and encourage them to stay longer in the City.

The City aims to be regarded as a major sports and eco-tourism destination in the country, particularly Gawahon Ecological Park, part of which is included in the Northern Negros Natural Park.

                The survey and report of DOT and TIEZA will be sent to the head office as they will come up with their recommendation to be carried by the City.
