The Provincial Government of Marinduque is now undertaking initial preparations for the holding of the Southern Tagalog Tourism Council Assembly covering both the Calabarzon and Mimaropa provinces. Although some concerns were expressed by members of the local tourism councils on the proximity of the date (now moved to June 25-27), and the readiness of the local resort and hotel industry to accommodate the big number of participants to the assembly, provincial administrator, Atty. Allan Velasco allayed such fears. Based on initial inspection of local resort facilities in Mogpog, Boac and Gasan alone, he said, the tourism team has just validated that air-conditioned rooms in comfortable surroundings are available for around 400 guests.
The Marinduque State College covered court is being eyed as venue for the main activity that includes the 'Governor's Night' hosted by the provincial government featuring a cultural showcase of the island's unique traditions and indigenous arts.
Velasco said that in last year's STTC Assembly held in Lucena City, the province's willingness to host the region's major tourism event was expressed by no less that Gov. Jose Antonio N. Carrion. The final date for the holding of the assembly in Marinduque, however, is to be the subject of final consultations with the STTC officials, headed by its current president, Col. Andrew Nocon of Laguna.
