Future Tourism Site In Capiz

Other duties of Department of Tourism is to explore and discover new sites for tourism in the Philippines, with this effort, one of the staff of DOT Capiz, Philippines went with my sisters in our place to look if our place is potential for tourism industry and that, we could find ways and means for the development of the place.
Yvette L Andion, tourism operation officer II, as sometimes being assigned to be the tourist guide in Capiz knows better what the tourists wanted in their travel. We walk through in our site at Malag-it Pontevedra Capiz Philippines, as we approach the hill she already convinces of the site where it is along the national road of the town of Pontevedra. If you are from Roxas city, the capital of Capiz, its 22kms passing route of Panay, and if you are going to pass Panitan route, its 25kms more or less. The roads from Roxas city are all concrete road. The site has already water system using the water district of the local government with telephone lines provided by one of the big telecom company of the Philippines and its just 1km away from the district hospital of Capiz. The site is so strategic as she says where with all of basic needs for developments are already in place. The view on top of the hill are, you could see the 250ft virgin Mary which is also one of the tourist attraction in Capiz, and aside from that you could see the “Tinagong Dagat” the sea that surrounds the island of Panay, one of the 7100 island of the Philippines.
As we discuss with her about the future development of the site, she suggest, horseback riding, camping with survival training, off road biking, and most of all, native foods for the guest and accommodation. Well in the future development if there will be investors interested the site is ready for swimming pool and hotels, things like that. The site is already approved by the local government land use program as an open area for commercial, the land is owned by my family.
As the trip ends, she recommend to look for investors, it could be foreign or local or maybe with the members of the family as a family corporation. The department of tourism is willing to support the future development on the site as their commitment to people of the Philippines, to boost the tourism industry in the country.

"travel and tour to Belo's private place"

We made a travel with my family going to Belo’s private place in Panitan Capiz, Philippines. It’s 20kms more or less, away from the city of Roxas passing a concrete road of Panitan and from the national road it’s more or less 700m going up and down the rolling hills. Up there is a lake on top of the hill decorated with travelers palm with floating cottage and private cottages with fully air-conditioned rooms, but the cottages are made in indigenous materials that can be found around their place. They have also a three layer tree house in a fully furnished room. I may say that their place is sanctuary of their own, away from the pollution of the city.
I like to thank my friend who is like my family also PJ that he open to my family their place. We experience to ride in a “balsa” going to the floating cottage in the center of the lake. The lake is abundant with “tilapia” fish that you can go fishing and made it grilled for your food. You can also go for boating in the lake while enjoying fishing. You can continue your lake activity even at night because the place is surrounded with floodlights. Again, thank you to PJ and to his family my family enjoyed very much, hope to see you soon.

Travel and tours in the Philippines II

There are still many tourism sites in the Philippines that have not yet been developed or either discovered by local or foreign tourist. Some are being maintained by the owner for private vacation site and some have no resources or have no idea how to develop. That is why many of the tourist that come to the Philippines came back not as tourist again but as a tourist investors for they know that Philippines has a potential for tourism business. There is no such country in the world with 7100 islands.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) is giving effort for the development and improvement of the tourism industry of the Philippines.
