Cebu sees full tourism reopening in October

According to vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr., the target is doable since at least 50 percent of tourism workers were already vaccinated in the three biggest cities of Cebu, Mandaue, and Lapu-Lapu.

“That means they will just have to inoculate 50 percent more,” said Galvez who, along with Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat and Deputy Chief Implementer Secretary Vince Dizon, was in Cebu on Friday for the ceremonial vaccination of tourism workers at Oakridge Business Park in Mandaue City.Puyat said the ceremonial vaccination was specifically held in Cebu to recognize the importance of the province in the country’s tourism industry.

“Tourism workers are those that are not only working in hotels but also those working in restaurants, airports, drivers, among others,” she said. Galvez affirmed that the vaccination of tourism workers in Cebu is one of the government’s priorities. “The province of Cebu is considered as one of the country’s top tourist destinations because of its world-class marine attractions, historic sites, and of course, its mouth-watering cuisines,” Galvez said.
