NAGA CITY, Aug. 11 (PNA) -- To spur economic growth and strengthen Naga’s position as the “Shopping Center of Southern Luzon†and to enhance public-private partnerships, City Mayor John G. Bongat Office and the business sector launched the “
Great Naga Sale†on Tuesday.
With an estimated three million visitors, pilgrims, and tourists expected to flock to the City of Naga in September, the City Government has embarked on a groundbreaking economic project dubbed “The Great Naga Sale,†the first of its kind in the country.
Bongat said the project will be done annually and aims to promote participating business establishments selling both goods and services especially with the upcoming grand celebration of the 300th year of devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia in September.
After a series of meetings and discussions by city officials, members of the Metro Naga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI) and representatives from Camarines Sur Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in July, the concept of a city-wide discount sale for goods and services of participating businesses came about.
The event will also be supported by Trias, a Belgium- based organization which currently provides assistance in entrepreneurship development.
Under the “Great Naga Sale†project, participating establishments will voluntarily place discounts ranging from 10 to 50 percent or more on their goods and services. The promo period, according to Bongat, will be from August 27 until September 1 and will be held in the same period annually. The promo includes all forms of products and services from food items to amusement.
