The Department of Tourism (DOT) 10 (Northern Mindanao) disclosed Tuesday that most major hotels in the region are booked for the Lenten season.<\/p>\n
During a press briefing, DOT-10 Director Marie Elaine Unchuan said even resorts with accommodations are fully booked in the first week of April in time for the Holy Week.<\/p>\n
She said Camiguin had the most reservations as the island province is host to the annual “Panaad,” where the Catholic faithful visit churches and pray the Stations of the Cross.<\/p>\n
Unchuan said the influx is expected in Camiguin, especially with the launch of its tourism slogan “Isle Be There,” and the easing of coronavirus disease 2019 restrictions for island visitors.<\/p>\n
She, however, said the performance of the “Hinuklog” in Medina town, Misamis Oriental would not take place this year due to the local government’s constraints.<\/p>\n
“Hinuklog” is an annual Holy Week event that highlights a street performance depicting the last days of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion and resurrection.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the DOT-10, in partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment, has facilitated a job fair, offering more than 2,000 vacancies in the tourism industry.<\/p>\n
“This is a major project of DOT Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco to be able to help displaced workers and potential tourism workers to avail of jobs in the industry in one setting,” Unchuan said.<\/p>\n
The job fair will be held from March 30 to 31, with 70 employers looking for fresh hires. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
