BACOLOD City – The Tourism Week celebration in this city highlights the efforts of tourism stakeholders and other sectors to make Bacolod City a more popular tourist and convention destination.
Bacolod, with its events from Sept. 13-17, joins the World Tourism Organizationâs Tourism Month this September with the theme âTourism for All: Promoting Universal Accessibility.â
âWe are all ambassadors of Bacolod, we are all stakeholders, and all of us have our own responsibilities to make Bacolod a tourism and convention destination in this part of the country,â said Councilor EmAng, chairperson of the SangguniangPanlungsod committee on tourism.
