BORACAY ISLAND – In time for the reopening of Boracay Island today, Oct. 26, the Department of Trade and Industry – Aklan launches “Bagong Buhay Boracay Showcase 2018” at CityMall Boracay, Malay, Aklan.
The showcase will run from Oct. 26 to 28, and will be participated by almost thirty micro small medium enterprises (MSMEs).
A large array of product selections such as decorative crafts and delicious food products will be made available during the three-day fair. Highlighted in this event are products produced by MSMEs affected by the island’s closure like festive gifts and decorative items, classy fiber-based fashion accessories, bamboo and wood welcome tokens, furnishings, souvenir items including processed foods. Also, a craft demonstration corner will be mounted to showcase the skills of local artisans in Boracay.
Some products to be displayed will come from different municipalities which best represent their own creative skill and rich industry. These MSMEs are those tapped and assisted by the Negosyo Centers in terms of skills trainings and product development as part of Negosyo Center’s business advisory and other related assistance. The “Bagong Buhay Boracay” product showcase will be an avenue for them to get exposed and be linked in the market as Boracay rises again.
This event is organized in partnership with CityMall Boracay, the local government unit of Malay and the Provincial Government of Aklan.
DTI, together with its partner agencies, enjoin the public to support our MSMEs in this endeavour. Come and visit “Bagong Buhay Boracay Product Showcase 2018”. These cumulative efforts will surely bring a significant impact in the re-emergence of the island’s vibrant business community./PN
