The Department of Tourism (DOT) Region 2 conducted a Tourism Product Development Workshop in May 16-17, 2026, in the Municipality of Maconacon as part of its continuing efforts to strengthen and enhance the tourism potential of Isabelaโs coastal municipalities.
The activity gathered tourism officers, planning officers, and MENRO personnel from the municipalities of Maconacon, Palanan, and Divilacan to foster collaboration in tourism planning and destination development.
The workshop focused on tourism site profiling, itinerary planning, and tourism circuit development to help local stakeholders create sustainable and market-ready tourism products. Participants were also provided with practical discussions and strategies on identifying and packaging unique tourism assets into meaningful visitor experiences.
The activity forms part of the five-day site assessment in the coastal towns of Maconacon, Divilacan, and Palanan to evaluate the readiness and development potential of identified tourism sites.
The initiative supports the development of the โIsabela Coast: Your Island Toastโ Tourism Circuit, which aims to position Isabelaโs coastal destinations as emerging tourism gems offering nature, culture, and adventure experiences for both local and international travelers.
