Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco, Department of Tourism (DOT) revealed plans to facilitate an interagency technical working group (TWG) last week, which seeks to strengthen the capacity of micro-entrepreneurs such as food vendors to provide quality tourism services.
The Department, Frasco said, has reached out to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Agriculture (DA), and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), which shall comprise the said TWG.
The tourism chief said that the DOT can help improve the standards of treating tourists in all destinations through the facilitation of training under the Filipino Brand of Service Excellence Program.
With three unique modules, the tourism program aims to instil a culture of service excellence among tourism stakeholders in the country and raise the quality of service standards among the workforce in key tourism and service sectors.
