To Our Valued Tourism Industry Partners:

In line with the Department of Tourism’s continuing efforts to support the growth and sustainability of the tourism industry, the DOT, in partnership with the Small Business Corporation (SB Corporation), is implementing the Turismo Asenso Loan Program (TALP) to provide financing support to tourism enterprises. To further support this initiative, tourism establishments and stakeholders in Samar and Eastern Samar are encouraged to participate in the SB Corporation Regional Loan Application Roadshow, to be held on the following dates and venues:

Date: 10 February 2026
Venue: Melinda’s Resort and Restaurant, Borongan City
Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Date: 12 February 2026
Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Venue: Baypark Hotel, Capoocan, Calbayog City

The Regional Loan Application Roadshow is organized by SB Corporation, an attached agency of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), to introduce its loan programs to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), including tourism-related businesses. A key feature of the activity is the on-site, end-to-end online registration and loan application, with same-day loan approval, subject to compliance with requirements.

All tourism establishments—including accommodation facilities, restaurants, tour operators, travel agencies, transport providers, and other tourism-related enterprises—are strongly encouraged to participate in this activity.

Attached is a DOT Advisory for your reference.

Damo nga Salamat!
