AS lawmakers push to approve new tourism destinations across the country, a vice chairperson of the House Committee on Tourism revealed Congress has earmarked P17.7 billion to bankroll the national government’s Tourism Road Infrastructure Program this year.
“We are counting on the tourism sector’s recovery from the pandemic to create new employment and livelihood opportunities for Filipinos, especially in the provinces,” Rillo said. The TRIP funding is used to develop roads and bridges in priority areas in support of the National Tourism Development Plan.
Meanwhile, Rillo said that before Congress adjourned last month, the House of Representatives had approved on third and final reading a total of 34 bills seeking to declare an even number of sites as new tourism destinations.
