As a means to boost tourism in the region, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)- and Department of Tourism (DOT)-MIMAROPA Region have recently launched in Palawan their e-Tourism website called ‘Visit Mimaropa’ (www.visitmimaropa.ph), in a ceremony witnessed by the MIMAROPA Regional Development Council (RDC) led by Palawan Governor Jose Alvarez as Chairman.

The said tourism website was officially created following an agreement between the two agencies, as formally signed by DOST-MIMAROPA Regional Director Dr. Ma. Josefina Abilay and DOT-MIMAROPA Regional Director Danilo Intong.

In his message, Alvarez said launching the website will boost tourism not only in Palawan but in other provinces in the region. Palawan’s chief exec said such increase in tourism activity will help in increasing local government earnings.

The said program was held as part of the 58th full meeting of the Council.
