The tour packages will target travelers from all over the country, especially Luzon.
Cebu Gov. Gwen Garcia has met Department of Tourism (DOT) Central Visayas (Region 7) Director Shalimar Hofer Tamano, Provincial Tourism Officer Maria Lester Ybañez, and the players in the tourism industry to discuss the holiday getaway.
“Let’s work together so that we will be unified,” Garcia said.
Private tour operators, airlines, transport operators, hotels, and resorts in the province will be part of the program.
The tour packages will be patterned after the Capitol’s Suroy-Suroy Sugbo, the province’s prime tourism program that allows tourists to explore the 44 towns and six component cities in the province.
