A number of travel and tour agencies in the City of San Fernando and neighboring areas met together in a forum organized by the City Tourism Office on May 24, 2022 at Heroes Hall.
One of the initial moves to help them prepare for the comeback of a “more active, more physical” tourism industry, the forum featured speakers specializing in sustainable travel and tour packages, and, in creating alliances with fellow agencies.
Philippine Tourism trainer Jay Aquino shared in his report the factors needed to perform to efficiently accommodate clients with their travel and tour needs, now that COVID-19 cases are decreasing.
Anna Pamela Guzman of the Alliance of Travel and Tour Agencies of Pampanga, on the other hand, underscored the benefits of being a member of a travel association, like the one she represents.
She cited to the participants that agencies, being allied with these platforms, will make them “identified, credible, connectable, and charitable.”
City Tourism Officer Ching Pangilinan and CSFP Arts, Culture, and Tourism Council Chairperson Jim Jimenez also conveyed messages to the participants.
This activity was the second phase of the four-quarter series of forums organized by the tourism department.
