The Department of Tourism - MIMAROPA successfully conducted the COMMUNITY TOUR GUIDING for the tour guides and aspiring tour guides of selected LGUs last June 20 - 26, 2022 held in Season's Hotel and Convention Center, Sablayan Occidental Mindoro.
Our Governor Eduardo B. Gadiano and Provincial Administrator Muriel M. Reguinding showed their full support as they gave their messages to the participants during their visit. It was indeed another achievement as we pace towards a more progressive Occidental Mindoro and have our tour guides as the tourism ambassadors of our province.
With the assistance of the Provincial Government of Occidental Mindoro thru the Provincial Tourism Office headed by Ms. Ma. Isabel J. Castillo, the seven (7) day training concluded with a total of thirty (30) tour guides who passed the written examination and mock tour and are now equipped and ready to be a Department of Tourism - Accredited Tour Guides.
Thank you so much to the Department of Tourism - MIMAROPA, RD Atty. Bevienne G. Malateo, Ma'am Cecil Aranton, and Ms. Edne Balagtas for always supporting Occidental Mindoro. We would also like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to our speakers, Sir Manu Del Rosario for sharing his expertise in tour guiding and to Sir Leovino Bundang for the overview of the history of our province.
A big THANK YOU also to the supportive Municipal Tourism Officers of Occidental Mindoro! Mabuhay po kayo!
The next steps are the DOT-Accreditation and formulation of the Occidental Mindoro Tour Guides Association. π
