Sulu set sights on developing Tourism Industry


ISABELA CITY, Basilan, May 11 (PIA) – Sulu Governor Abdusakur M. Tan and the Provincial Government are now setting their sights in developing tourism in the province.

Gov. Tan approved recently the formulation of a Provincial Tourism Master Plan aimed to establish a clear direction and provide the necessary information and strategies to develop a viable tourism Industry in Sulu.

Tan pointed out that the Island province of Sulu has a clear advantage when it comes to tourism due to its natural beauty, unique environment structure and refined white sand beachfronts much sought by local and foreign travellers.

“The people of Sulu are losing so much for years of neglect of this untapped resource, the development of tourism in Sulu can be the biggest source of Income and revenue for the province and its people,” Tan emphasized.

As an initial phase, a Sulu tourism multi- stakeholder’s forum was held on May 9, 2012 at the Provincial Capitol building, Governor’s Conference Room. Attending the forum are Regional Director Mary June Bugante of the Department of Tourism Region 9 and Asst. Regional Secretary Hon. Bai Shalimar Candao of the Department of Tourism–ARMM. The Forum aims to gather insights into the development and identify potential tourist destinations in the province. (Sulu-PIO/RVC/PIA9-ZBST)
