DEPARTMENT of Tourism -Eastern Visayas Director Karen Tiopes has urged local tour guides to strengthen their storytelling skills to invite more visitors. “Tour guiding is storytelling. Tourism is all about stories. You may have a very beautiful natural site, but that is just a site if there is no story to tell,” said Tiopes.“As guides, we have a great responsibility to bring out the best of our place, the place we call home. You are the heart of the tour,” she added.
To inspire the participants, Tiopes highlighted the achievements of elderly tour guides like Erlyn Alunan, 63, from San Joaquin, Iloilo, and Artie Lacson, over 80, from Negros.She also showcased Eastern Visayas tour guides based in Samar, such as Eugene Igdalino, who operates the Ulot River Torpedo Boat Extreme Ride and Adventure in Paranas, and Larry Rambacod, who progressed from a community tour guide in Basey to a regional tour guide.
