STRONGER private sector presence in partnership with the public sector can be very good for the tourism industry in Bohol, take it from a tested businessman member of the Bohol Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
According to Fortunato Lim of the Fortune Enterprises fame, there is still a good room for development in tourism infrastructure facilities in Bohol to make us globally competitive.
Speaking for the BCCI, Lim said the private sector can do a lot about the things we need to get right to make Bohol a memorable tourism destination.
Himself having been sent to Phuket for a tourism benchmarking trip, Lim said Thais have a very competitive tourism development with the help of the private sector.
At the Kapihan sa PIA aired live over DyTR, Lim said that Boholanos can still be very hopeful of the tourism boom which is still expected to reach greater heights this year.
In fact, he said the BCCI is actively engaged in public and private sector partnerships to press on the philosophy of cooperation.
He said the Chamber has been actively meeting with local government units and agencies to help craft development plans to ensure sustainability.
Lim said that the Chamber sits to local planners and an urban master planner for the creation of a zoning ordinance in Panglao, Bohol’s most profitable growth area in the next few years.
One of the problems of the tourist island is that it has not legislated its zoning ordinance yet that land owners have a fairly free hand in their development without considering the integral development of the place.
A good road network in the plan would help spur economic activity, an ace that could make the island more investor friendly.
With Tagbilaran as a tourist gateway, Lim said suggestions to rid the main thoroughfares of ugly tangles of sagging power and phone lines have been put up and could possibly be a priority to enhance the islands tourism value. (racPIABohol)
