Cebu’s ranking as the 8th best island destination in Asia according to Condé Nast Traveler’s 2011 survey can be seen through its world-class resorts, some of which are in Lapu-lapu City.
“It is just right and fitting that we have addressed tourism concerns in the city as it is where our economy focuses,” said Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza.
She said the Lapu-Lapu City government helped Cebu’s tourism industry by organizing anti-crime groups in coordination with police authorities and eco-tourism wardens that apprehend violators of the solid waste management act.
She also cited their regular coastal and underwater cleanups participated in by coastal barangays, schools, non-government organizations, government agencies and volunteer groups as another program under her administration.
Radaza said they will continue to find ways to boost Lapu-Lapu City’s tourism industry and help the province continue to attract more foreign and domestic tourists to its shores. /CORRESPONDENT NORMAN V. MENDOZA
