Literally all of Cebu’s elected officials — from mayors, Board Members and congressmen — gather in Medellin to join Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and Gov. Gwen Garcia inaugurate the LGU’s Tourist Rest Area on July 10.
The Medellin TRA is the first of such facility duly funded and constructed by the Department of Tourism. It provides clean rest rooms, coffee shops, pasalubong centers, charging stations, and information booths for both local and foreign tourists.
All in all, the DOT has constructed four TRAs in Cebu, with the other three located in Carmen, Carcar City, and Moalboal.
Gov. Gwen has promised to match the number of TRAs built by the DOT; but at the rate that she is going, she is poised to build more and more TRAs upon the requests of mayors.
