HANDA na muling tumanggap ng mga turista ang Oriental Mindoro matapos ang oil spill na nakaapekto sa lalawigan noong Pebrero.
Ito ang inihayag ng Department of Tourism (DOT) nitong Lunes, Oktubre 23.
Ayon kay Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco, nakikita na nila ang muling pagbangon ng turismo sa Oriental Mindoro.

“Oriental Mindoro is open and ready for tourism and I invite all our fellow Filipinos and our friends from all over the world to visit and enjoy all the wonderful destinations here, as well as all the offerings that they have in terms of their heritage, their culture, and their dive sites,” pahayag niya.”Oriental Mindoro is open and ready for tourism and I invite all our fellow Filipinos and our friends from all over the world to visit and enjoy all the wonderful destinations here, as well as all the offerings that they have in terms of their heritage, their culture, and their dive sites,” pahayag niya.
Upang higit na maisulong ang tourism activities sa lugar, pinaplano aniya ng DOT na magbukas ng Tourist Rest Area (TRA) sa Bongabong sa susunod na taon.
Maglalagay din aniya ang ahensiya ng hyperbaric chamber at gagamitin ang posisyon ng Puerto Galera bilang isa sa prime dive destinations ng bansa.
Sinabi ni Frasco na naniniwala silang ang lahat ng assets na meron ang Oriental Mindoro magmula sa mga beach hanggang sa dive sites, sa mga kuweba at kabundukan, lupain at ang mga mamayan nito ang perfect formula sa tagumpay nito bilang tourism destinations.
Samantala, mahigit 1,000 tourism workers na pansamantalang nawalan ng trabaho dahil sa oil ang isinailalim sa alternatibong livelihood training program.
Matatandaang sinalanta ng oil spill ang lalawigan hatid ng paglubog ng MT Princess Empress sa bayan ng Naujan noong Pebrero 28
