    Fourth Roll-out: Municipality of Orion Welcomes Tourism Statistics System

    Fourth Roll-out: Municipality of Orion Welcomes Tourism Statistics System

    The fourth roll-out of the Tourism Statistics System under the Behold Bataan: Pillars of Action Program was successfully held on June 26 at the Municipal Hall of Orion.
    The digital system was introduced to help local tourism establishments report visitor data more efficiently. Stakeholders appreciated the convenience it brings.

    “Para sa akin po, mas maayos at mas madali itong bagong system na ipinresenta. Unlike dati na mano-mano, ngayon kahit saan, basta may gadget at internet, puwede nang mag-update. Kung may kailangang baguhin, hindi na kailangan pang pumunta sa LGU para itama ang data, malaking bagay po ‘yon sa amin,” shared by Mr. John Michael Serrano of Serrano’s Events Place.
    The Provincial Tourism Office of Bataan extends its gratitude to the Municipality of Orion and the Municipal Tourism Office, led by Ms. Diane Mae Endaya, for their support and participation.
    Maraming salamat po at Mabuhay!
