Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco backed a proposal to extend holidays and weekends. | JMangaluzINQ
According to Frasco, tourism is vital for recovering the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I do understand that there is a need to balance economics with leisure tourism. In the end, however, we also have to examine the employment and livelihood benefits that encouraging domestic tourism can bring,” said Frasco. While Frasco did not explicitly back Tulfo’s bill, she also mentioned that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. had already added long weekends to help encourage travel.“During the pandemic we saw how much domestic tourism contributed to our economies in the provinces and the regions and therefore we are in full support of the existing long weekends,” said Frasco.
