DOT TO LAUNCH 1ST NORTH LUZON TRAVEL FAIR – FRASCO

In a bid to boost tourism recovery and cultural diversity, the Department of Tourism (DOT), through its regional offices in Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon, in partnership with Alliance of Travel and Tour Agencies of Pampanga (ATTAP), is set to stage the first-ever North Luzon Travel Fair from November 18-20, 2022 at the SMX Convention Center in Clark, Pampanga.

With the theme “Weaving Our Way to Recovery,” the North Luzon Travel Fair aims to play a major role in shaping the future of tourism by creating a one-stop-shop venue for industry collaboration, showcasing the domestic tourism destinations, products, services, delicacies, gifts and pasalubong items, as well as cultural presentations from the northern side of the Philippines.

Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco has earlier conveyed that one of the seven-point objectives of the Department is the diversification of portfolio from traditional to multidimensional tourism.

“This will not only be anchored on accommodations, destinations, and restaurants but also on the products of local artisans and craftsmen in the country.”
