BANGUED, Abra –- The province is gradually opening its tourism sites to local tourists but health protocols are strictly enforced. 
      The Provincial Anti-Covid19 Task Force led by Gov. Maria Jocelyn Bernos has allowed the resumption of tourism industry in the province.
      Bernos however said local governments may still suspend all tourism activities in their areas if necessary depending on situation due to Covid-19.
      The legendary Kaparkan Falls in Barangay Caganayan in Tineg is now open for local tourists only as allowed by Tineg Mayor Corinthia Crisologo. 
      With the assistance of Abra Amazing Tour as provincial service providers, Abrenians may visit the tourist site during the rainy season. 
      Other tourist sites in the municipality such as Piwek Rock Formations and Vira Caves are still closed while the local government is working on the guidelines. 
      In the municipality of Lagayan, the popular Lusuac Spring Resort is open to locals. Interested visitors can coordinate thru the official facebook page of Lagayan Tourism Council for online booking. As part of the new normal, tourists are required to accomplish and present the health declaration forms and tourism registration forms.
      Lagayan Mayor Edmarc Crisologo said the tourism council only allows a maximum of 30 visitors to the Lusuac Spring per day. 
      Tourism Consultant George Anthony Lalin from the Office of Congressman JB Bernos, said local tourists are still required to strictly adhere to all health protocols amid the pandemic.  
       “The LGUs are now working on the gradual re-opening of their tourist sites. However, we advise the public to continuously follow all health protocols as part of the new normal even when tourism is already allowed”. 
Some LGUs such as Daguioman and Tubo are still not accepting tourists. – PIA Abra
