Tour guiding course opens with a wow
Speaker Rene Hinojales wowed the 35 registered participants along with members of the Women in Travel and other invited guests with his talk on “Creating the Wow” that opened the 1 st Negros Island Tour Guiding Course last July 18 at the Nature’s Village Resort. Citing 12 factors that elicit a wow response, Hinojales enjoined the group of future hosts of the province to always strive beyond what is merely acceptable to something grand and memorable.
Following this talk, LCC instructor and interior designer, Raymond Fuentes, lectured on the features of the city’s most notable buildings and houses, including stories and trivia behind them that bring these buildings to life.
The course, organized by the Negros Island Tourism, Inc. (NITI), will continue through the next nine Saturdays with modules on the important facets of the province. Due to several requests, NITI will welcome participation in some of the modules. The next modules on July 25 shall be a lecture on the history of Negros by Dr. Cecile Nava, to be followed by a talk on Landmarks, Monuments and
Museums by Ms. Lilibeth Cordoba. For more information and to book your seat in the modules, please contact Cheryl Villanueva at 433 8243.
