Following the launching and endorsement of the campaign now popularly known as the Tandaya Trail, there has been an increase in the income and the number of tourists in Sohoton Cave, one of the destinations promoted under the campaign.
“When there is an increase of income, they become conscious of the trainings and services needed to be improved,” said Tan.
She added that the provincial government will continue supporting them, especially now that they are in need of help in some technical aspects.
Moreover, the governor said that after it was launched, the Ulot River in Paranas, one of the towns in Samar, has bloomed.
“There were two weeks that they didn’t accept guest bookings because they were fully-booked. We hope that this coming Samar Day and Catbalogan fiesta, there will be more tourists and they earn more income,” Tan said.
The campaign, which involves tourism activities such as the Ulot Torpedo Boat Adventure, rolling tours in San Juanico Bridge and Yolanda Memorial Park in Sta. Rita, cultural and religious tours in Basey, trips to Sohoton Natural Bridge National Park, and island-hopping in Marabut, kicked off together with “Spark Samar” last April.
These campaigns are initiatives of the provincial government led by Tan and the Department of Tourism Regional Director Katrina Rosa Tiopes.
“Summer sa Samar” and “Spark Samar” aim to set the province as one of the must-see tourist destinations in the country. (PNA)
