Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), in collaboration with Cavite Tourism and supported by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) CALABARZON has launched the Cavite Tourism Passport, which aims to encourage tourism within the province of Cavite.
The launch was spearheaded by Rozelle Sangalang, Cavite Provincial Tourism Officer, and Ariel Iglesias, Regional Director of DILG R-4A. Together, they introduced the South Summer Tour 2024, an innovative program designed to showcase the vibrant tourist destinations across Cavite’s eight cities and 15 municipalities.
“The ‘Biyaheng South Tourism Passport’ revolutionizes local tourism, motivating travelers to explore Cavite’s landscapes and support local businesses. We remain dedicated to providing meaningful experiences, benefiting travelers, tourists, and local communities,” Iglesias said.
“The passport symbolizes our collective dedication to promoting Cavite tourism. Through the Biyaheng South campaign, we showcase our toll roads and the region’s cultural and natural treasures, hoping to inspire more people to discover and cherish the beauty of Cavite.”
Municipality of Amadeo Mayor Redel Dionisio, MPT South Manager for CSM Integrated Communications Jona Miranda, and tourism officers from each part of Cavite were also present.
With the Cavite Tourism Passport, visitors can collect stamps from places like Cavitex and Calax Toll Plazas, the Provincial Tourism Office, and different restaurants, hotels, historical sites, and adventure spots. For every 10 stamps collected, visitors will receive a reward. The passports may be redeemed at partner establishments, tourism offices in Cavite, and the CALAX Customer Service Center.
The program aims to boost tourism by highlighting various attractions such as the Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Bacoor’s famous halo-halo, Cavite City’s Bibingkoy, Rosario’s Tinapang Salinas, and more. These include General Trias’ Carabao milk, Imus City’s Longganisa, Pico de Loro in Ternate, the Bonifacio Trial House in Maragondon, and Amadeo’s coffee, among others, along with leisure activities and food hubs in Tagaytay.
