MARINDUQUE ECOTOURISM BILLS APPROVED IN COMMITTEE – VELASCO

The House Committee on Tourism approved three Ecotourism bills sponsored by Rep. Lord Allan Velasco. The three House Bills numbered 7022, 7023 and 7024 aims to conserve and develop the Municipality of Sta. Cruz, Torrijos White Beach and Luzon Datum into Ecotourism areas.

“Ecotourism projects,” Velasco said, “are meant to create attractive tourist destinations without depreciating the environment and nature.”

Appearing before committee members, resource persons and observers, Rep. Velasco endorsed these House measures by presenting a tourism video which showcased the wonders and beauty of his province of Marinduque. The video was able to highlight the unlimited potential of his province and this country to become a top tourist destination.

Thereafter, the Committee on Tourism, led by Chairperson Rep. Lucy Torres Gomez, approved the bills.

“At a time when environmental protection and conservation are at the forefront of global issues, these legislative measures are very timely and are helpful reminders of the importance of nature,” added the legislator.

Ecotourism projects will certainly address the need to observe sustainable development and the protection of the environment.
