Lately, the public works and tourism departments have given P30.9 billion to expand vital tourism infrastructure in 16 regions in the country, as the government wants to offer ease on transport for its estimated 7.4 million visitors all through this year.
Under 2018’s Tourism Road Infrastructure Program (TRIP), the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and Department of Tourism (DOT) will develop together 1,688 kilometers of tourism roads through 677 projects spread across 16 Philippine regions.
Between the high-impact tourism road projects scheduled for the 2018 program comprise access roads going to Mapita Tribal Community in Pangasinan; New Clark City; Callao Caves in Tuguegarao City; Buscalan in Kalinga, which is also known as the home of the last mambabatok, Apo Whang Od; Seven Cities in Iloilo; La Paz, Zamboanga City; and Dahilayan Adventure Park in Bukidnon.
Moreover, the list includes high-impact tourism roads like Asik-Asik Falls, North Cotabato; Surigao del Sur leading to the world-famous Hinatuan Enchanted River; circumferential roads in Taal, Batangas; San Jose, Romblon; and Island Garden City of Samal in Davao del Norte.
Coastal roads connecting to nature and marine reserves in Pasacao-Balatan in Camarines Sur; Gilutongan and Nalusuan Marine Sanctuary in Cebu; and Canopy Forest in Eastern Samar are also include in the priority projects of TRIP.
