CHATTO CITES BALANCE BETWEEN TOURISM CAPACITY AND SOCIAL MEDIA During Netizen’s Convention
“There is a need to balance in the capacity of Bohol as a destination vis-a-vis the capabilities of its people and the use of social media in more productive endeavors for the tourism industry.” Governor Edgar Chatto said before tourism and hospitality students during the Netizen’s Convention. According to Gov. Chatto, part of current initiatives for tourism are three major directives on the regulatory role of the tourism office, events management, and the involvement of MICE in upcoming big events for Bohol. Among them is the launching of Digital Bohol in October, the holding of World Economic Forum – Open Collaboration with East Asia New Champions 2016 in November and the ASEAN 2017 meetings in April of next year. In its development agenda, tourism is an industry for growth and development in Bohol along with agriculture and complementing these is ICT. In Congress, Chatto authored the Tourism Act of 2009 with Sen. Dick Gordon, which whole concept of tourism includes marketing, incentives, structures, security, tourism, and, public private partnership. The event, with its theme; “Building Successful Relationship Between Tourism and Social Media” is organized by the Bohol Tourism Office in partnership with meetings, incentives, conventions, exhibitions (MICE) students of Holy Name University with the support of DOT, Provincial Tourism Council and private sector partners.
