Negros Occidental can tap into the opportunities offered by theimplementation of this law that declares “a national policy for tourism as an engine of investment, employment,growth and national development…”The Department of Tourism will lead the establishment of a tourism infrastructure program and coordinatewith other agencies to identify vital access roads, airports, seaports and other infrastructure requirement inidentied tourism areas, and the province can propose to be included among the priority areas.To take the lead in tourism development and promotion, we will advocate the establishment of a privatesector-led Negros Occidental Tourism Promotions and Development Board, similar to those in Cebu, Davaoand Palawan.We will also prioritize support for domestic tourism and promote rural tourism through “Bed andBreakfast” packages in clean, countryside homes with owing water and sanitary comfort rooms, and withouties and mosquitoes. Guests can be served clean, home-cooked native meals whose prices are very reasonableand not inated. This way, the multiplier effect of tourism can be felt by the community market, the tricycleor trisikad drivers, the sari-sari stores, and the rest of the neighborhood. For this program to succeed, we haveto prepare all the stakeholders with capacity building workshops to develop a tourism-friendly community.Ma. Lina P.
