I had the good grace to be
assigned to two exciting events these past few days … I owe the Department of
Tourism (DOT, Region 2) the challenge to be there.
First, I was asked to facilitate
two trainings in Sta. Ana, Cagayan: Frontline Service Management (FSM)also
known as Effective Customer Service and Tourist Reception and Guiding
Techniques (TRGT) last May 14-17, 2012. The following day I have to go to Isabela
for the Mini-Summit for the Crocodile Conservation Project of the Mabuwaya
Foundation from May 18-21, 2012.

For the TRGT, we had 24 participants at the
start but was trimmed down to 19 on the last day, some chose not to continue
with the training maybe because they think they cannot take the heat.
Participants had to pass some oral exams and a mock tour which allowed each one
to act as a tour guide while inside a bus and while visiting the destinations
in the town as well as while inside the
training room. During the last day, everyone was graded by the trainer and DOT
officials.
The trainees will serve as local
tour guides in the town of Sta. Ana in the northeast of the Province of
Cagayan. Preferred destinations include the Boacag waterfalls, St. Anthony
Museum, Nangaramuan local Beach, San Vicente Port, Crab Farms and local resort
facilities.
Nangaramoan beach is a beautiful beach resort to visit. It's crystal white sand and clear blue water is pretty cool! This must be a good tourist spot to maintain and improve. Mabuhay Cagayanos!
