“Aside from the international tourism we must also recognize the efforts of DOT in terms of our domestic tourism,” he said. “Malaking bagay na napasigla ng DOT, sa pangunguna ni Sec. Frasco., ang ating lokal na turismo sapagkat ito ay nakaka create ng maraming oportunidad para sa ating mga kababayan ,” Villar explained.“As long as the DOT continues its current programs and policies, I’m confident that we will not only hit record numbers in international and domestic tourists but we will also be the primary tourist destination in our region,” Villar said.
