These sessions served as a strategic platform to harmonize regional and provincial tourism objectives, ensuring that development initiatives are coherent, responsive, and aligned with national and regional tourism frameworks.
During the meetings, each unit of the regional office presented its mandates, functions, and programs, providing guidance on project implementation, timelines, resource requirements, and coordination mechanisms. This fostered open dialogue and strengthened coordination between the regional and local tourism offices, while encouraging participating tourism officers to share successful practices and initiatives in tourism development and management.
This undertaking reinforces the national tourism development goal of strengthening tourism governance by promoting stronger engagement and collaboration with local stakeholders, including local government units.
