The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) have formalized two new convergence initiatives to boost the country’s tourism industry through science-based innovations. On Wednesday (Aug. 28), Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and DOST Secretary Dr. Renato Solidum, Jr.
Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and Science and Technology Secretary Dr. Renato Solidum, Jr. led the ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on Wednesday at the Casa Manila grounds in Intramuros, Manila.
The SSCP is a people-centric and technology-driven strategy to facilitate the development or transformation of communities to become smart, sustainable, resilient, and inclusive considering the uniqueness, readiness, and growth potential of the community. A separate Memorandum of Agreement was also signed by the heads of the two agencies to pledge a commitment to the development and deployment of the TourLISTA 2.0 app.
The DOST-MIMAROPA developed the TourLISTA App which was subsequently utilized by the DOT-MIMAROPA as the pilot region for its implementation. The MOA then formalizes the DOT and DOST collaboration on the enhancement and deployment of a web-based and mobile application that will serve as a pivotal tool to facilitate the collection of regional statistics all over the Philippines.
