President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Friday said the government remains committed to strengthen the domestic tourism industry pushing for his home province Ilocos Norte as a key tourism hub in the country.
During his speech at the “Tan-ok ni Ilocano 2023: The Festival of Festivals,” Marcos said uplifting the country’s domestic tourism industry remained a top priority of his administration.
He said the government remains open for “fresh and innovative” ideas that will help propel the tourism sector in the future. “Named after my father, the stadium speaks well of the strength, brilliance, and resilience of every Ilocano. I’m certain that my father is now watching us proudly and to see how far we are as a people,” he said.
The President said the festival will stimulate economic activity and support Ilocano families by driving the tourism industry and sustaining local livelihoods.
