KUTING BEACH, Macrohon, Southern Leyte, April 25 (PIA) -- Leading personalities in the business sector from six provinces and eight cities in Region 8 will converge for two days - today and tomorrow - in this resort to discuss issues and concerns about tourism and trade opportunities. | |||
The gathering, officially called Second Eastern Visayas Business Conference, is hosted by the Southern Leyte Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SLCCI), and some 200 participants all over the region are expected to attend, said Sandra Alcober, information officer of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) provincial office. | |||
Aside from known business figures, mostly heads and members of various chambers of commerce in the region, political leaders and regional directors of government agencies involved in promoting tourism and investments are also expected to come, Alcober added. | |||
Governor Damian Mercado will be the keynote speaker, said Alcober. | |||
She said the two-day affair will also highlight a trade fair and exhibit and actual visits to the province’s prime tourist destination at the Agas-Agas zipline at Sogod. | |||
The group will also witness the soft opening of the “ZooLeyte” or the Maasin Nature and Wildlife Park at Danao Forest Park in Maasin City scheduled tomorrow afternoon, April 26. | |||
The conference carries the theme, “One Region. One Team: Economic Development thru Public-Private Sector Initiative.” The first-ever Eastern Visayas business meeting was held in March last year, hosted by Leyte province, Alcober further said. | |||
Engr. Robert Castanares, SLCCI President, in his letter of invitation to fellow members to display their products and services, said the objective of the conference is to promote regional trade and investment cooperation in the region. | |||
“Among the highlights of the conference is the presentation by each chamber of its respective province or city development strategy, dominant industry or products, and trade and investment opportunities,” Castanares said. | |||
He also said that the individual output of the different chambers will be consolidated into a Regional Development Framework which will be presented to the Regional Development Council. (LDL/MMP-PIA 8, Southern Leyte) | |||
