The Department of Tourism (DOT) Caraga conducted a series of congressional visits on September 1-2, 2026 to engage with the regionโs legislators and strengthen support for the continued development of tourism in Caraga.
Building on the collaborative engagements with Caragaโs district representatives in 2025, the visits provided an avenue to discuss the regionโs tourism priorities, development directions, project initiatives, convergence programs, and emerging needs, while highlighting the vital role of legislative support in turning these priorities into meaningful programs and investments.
As Caraga continues to position itself as a competitive and sustainable tourism destination, strengthening partnerships with our lawmakers remains essential in advancing initiatives that support tourism infrastructure, destination development, connectivity, community-based tourism, livelihood opportunities, and the promotion of the regionโs diverse tourism assets.
The meeting likewise presents an important opportunity to further align national resources and legislative support with Caragaโs distinct tourism assets.
Through continued collaboration and convergence, DOT Caraga remains committed to working with our legislators and partners in unlocking the regionโs full tourism potential and making tourism a stronger catalyst for economic growth, employment, and community development.
