Tourism industry steps up efforts against climate change
DOT is rolling out its "GrEEn Destinations" project with Greenpeace, from Boracay to Bohol, and eventually to other destinations next year. Turnover ceremonies were held during the Energy Efficiency workshop for resort operators on December 2, 2009, in Boracay. The symbolic turnover of the globe represented both the turning of the Earth from climate change, as well as the turnover and spread of Energy Efficiency measures among tourist destinations. Leading the ceremonies were: Mark Dia, Greenpeace Southeast Asia Deputy Campaign Director; Atty. Lucas Nunag, Bohol Provincial Tourism Council Head; Atty. Ma. Victoria Jasmin, DOT Director for Tourism Standards; Arch. Mike Guerrero of the Green Architecture Advocacy of the Philippines; Beng Reyes Ong, Greenpeace Energy Efficiency Campaigner; and Loubelle Cann, Boracay Foundation President.
