THE Department of Tourism (DoT) welcomes the impending appointment of Liloan Mayor Christina Frasco as its new secretary with high hopes that the momentum the department has generated over the past few months toward the revival, recovery and resiliency of the tourism industry will be carried over to the new administration.

The transition team of the DoT is ready to welcome and brief the new secretary and her team for a smooth turnover. Among those that will be turned over is the National Tourism Development Plan 2022 to 2028 and the reformulated Tourism Response and Recovery Plan, which served as the department's road map to the tourism sector's full recovery from the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
