LINGAYEN, Pangasinan — The search is on for
this year’s “Aktibo ed Turismo Awards” in this province.
A project of Gov.
Amado T. Espino, Jr., Aktibo de Turismo gives special recognition to local
government units who gave significant contribution to the development and
promotion of tourism in the province and supported cultural and special events.
The search kicked off
last September during the province celebration of Tourism Month where at least
17 LGUs will be vying for the award this year.
The entries for this
year include Agno, Anda, Balungao, Bayambang, Bautista, Binmaley, Bolinao,
Burgos, Calasiao, Dasol, Infanta, Mangaldan, Natividad, San Fabian, Sta. Maria,
Tayug, and last year’s champion, Alaminos City.
Deciding the winners
will be based on a scorecard prepared by the Special Awards and Evaluation
Committee tasked to evaluate the tourism movers according to six criteria –
organizational support; LGU-initiated/funded programs, projects, activities;
cooperation and support to the provincial government programs and special
events; legislative support; linkages with government and non-government
partners; various tourism-related awards and recognitions received.
Provincial tourism and
cultural affairs officer Ma. Luisa A. Elduayan disclosed that all entries will
be evaluated according to the criteria and will be ranked accordingly and will
be announced this month.
The champion will
receive a P200,000 cash prize while second and third placers will get P150,000
and P100,000, respectively.
