One Visayas expo to foster unity among 3 Visayan regions
Department of Tourism (DOT) 6 Regional Director Edwin Trompeta said the One Visayas, One People, One Destiny expo set March 11 in the province of Capiz is an activity that will foster unity among the three regions in the Visayas.
Trompeta said the One Visayas expo is a project initiated by the Regional Development Council Executive Committee of Region 6, 7 and 8. It is an activity that will gather the three regions to showcase arts, culture, tourism products, fiestas and cultural heritage.
The best of Visayan architecture, dance, festivals, services and practices will also be featured in the One Visayas expo.
The RDC 6 is headed by Antique Gov. Sally Perez. The tourism department is exerting efforts for the success of the forthcoming One Visayas, One People, One Destiny expo.
Trompeta said it is worthwhile activity which involves the three regions together. Uniting the three regions which is separated by the seas will bring up development in terms of infrastructures.
It will also be easier for them to confront issues and other serious matters affecting the growth and development of the regions particularly in the tourism aspect, said Trompeta.
He said the three governors will come up with one cohesive approach in dealing with serious matters concerning development of the three regions. It is only a matter of getting their acts together, said Trompeta.
The One Visayas project is expected to unite all the 16 provinces in the Visayas region which is separated by the sea but have cultural bond.
Trompeta added the province of Capiz is ready to host the event though he deemed there would be problems on the accommodation since there are enough hotels to accommodate the participants.
The accommodation of participants will largely depend on how fast the other regions could book themselves, he said.
