The three-day training, attended by LGU planners and tourism officers, tourism industry practitioners, cultural advocates and professionals, researchers, and community leaders, is designed to enhance the participants’ skills in identifying, documenting, interpreting, and utilizing cultural resources and heritage for their promotion, conservation, and development.

This participatory training also intends to guide participants in the creation of a cultural map, not only for the tourism development of cultural and heritage destinations, but also to equip them with the knowledge to map cultural heritage and determine its cultural value as a local property. This includes tangible and intangible, movable and immovable cultural assets that should be properly documented as both tourism and heritage assets of the community.

Beyond cultural mapping, this proactive involvement of the City Government of Iriga, under the leadership of 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐱 𝐂. 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐚, through the participation of the Iriga Culture, Heritage, Arts and Tourism Office, is another solid proof of the city’s intensive efforts and commitment to advancing the creation of policies, programs, projects, and activities for the sustainable development of local tourism, while keeping in mind the paramount importance of preserving, protecting, and promoting our distinct cultural heritage assets.
