Board Member Nehemias Dela Cruz Sr. (1st District) has directed Christine Mansinares, supervising tourism operations officer of the Negros Occidental Tourism Center, to coordinate with her counterpart in the Bacolod City Tourism Office for a joint undertaking between the provincial government and the city government on tourism promotion.
Dela Cruz, chairperson of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Committee on Tourism, said he is aware of the initial steps undertaken by Bacolod Councilor Homer Bais, chair of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Tourism, for such joint efforts to strengthen the tourism potentials of the city and the province. Dela Cruz said there is a need to unify all the tourism themes of different local government units (LGUs) in Negros Occidental to effectively promote the province’s tourism. He said every LGU has a unique theme in promoting their respective localities to attract more tourists into their areas, and the only way to promote the entire tourism potential of the whole province is the creation of tourism package. Dela Cruz said he will study the tourism program of Bacolod to determine what plan will be undertaken to unify both programs of the provincial government and the city government. The Bacolod SP has approved last week a resolution calling for the joint efforts of the Bacolod city government through Mayor Evelio Leonardia and the provincial government through Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr., through their tourism officers, to come up with an attractive and complete tourism promotion package for Bacolod and the province of Negros Occidental as premier tourism destination. The resolution was authored by Councilor El Cid Familiaran and co-authored by Councilors Sonya Verdeflor, Em Ang, Archie Baribar, Catalino Alisbo, Elmer Sy, Homer Bais, Al Victor Espino and Dindo Ramos. The resolution said tourism is an indispensable and a major industry of every country, a rich source of revenues and employment that pump primes its economy. It also said the joint efforts of the Bacolod and Negros Occidental governments in coming up with an attractive and complete tourism promotion package will provide Bacolod and all component local government units in Negros Occidental with revenue and employment-generating opportunities for its constituents.* Danny B.
