“We need both departments’ support in our pursuit to natural healings using traditional and modern modalities to promote medical tourism in our country and to position Pangasinan as the healing center of the Philippines,” Ms. Helyn C. Escaño, the over-all chair of the festival and co-owner of the resort and institute comments as she invites the two secretaries.
“This will definitely adds: 1) the volume of tourist arrivals, 2) the length of stay of the tourists in the country, and 3) their average daily spending while in the Philippines, which were the three objectives set by Sec. Durano this year for Department of Tourism,” she continues.With the trade show’s theme: “Advocating Filipino Natural Solutions and Holistic Practices,” the festival coincides the 15th thanksgiving year of Villa Jireh Japeth Resort Hotel which started in its humble beginnings as a prayer house on the top of the hill over-looking China Sea.
