Cordillera - The city of Tabuk in Kalinga province has been bestowed the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Clean Tourist City Award for espousing the ASEAN Tourism Standard.
This is the first time that the city of Tabuk is receiving the award, which is being given every other year.
Tabuk passed all the seven criteria set under the ASEAN Clean Tourist City Standard including environmental management, cleanliness, waste management, awareness-building about environmental protection and cleanliness, green spaces, health safety and urban safety and security, and tourism infrastructure and facilities.
The ASEAN Clean Tourist City award is a recognition given to member-nations to encourage them to improve the quality of tourism in their cities, increase marketing competitiveness, create jobs for local residents and push economic growth.
The award is a testament of the dedication of the LGU Tabuk to uplift its name and be certified among ASEAN clean tourist cities in the Philippines.
Such recognition is expected to boost local tourism of Tabuk both in the local and international community as its name will be included on the ASEAN's official website and will also be included at the ASEAN Tourism Forum, festival and associated events.
