Mactan Island hospitality sector ready for ‘new normal'

CEBU – The Tourism, Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission (TCHAC) in Lapu-Lapu City said it is now prepared for the reopening the hospitality industry in Cebu’s resort island once its community quarantine status is downgraded.


City officials have been visiting hotels and resorts to check their preparations on safety and wellness protocols and the guidelines set by the local government and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).

“We look forward to opening up the domestic tourism market to revive the hospitality industry,” TCHAC chairperson Cindi Chan said.

She said Mayor Junard Chan’s administration, through the TCHAC, continues to serve the Oponganons “wholeheartedly, gearing towards the new normal in implementing safety protocols and precautionary measures, considered as the utmost priority.”

Accompanied by city health officer Grace Mary Carungay and sanitation inspector Ferdinand Tepait, Chan has paid visits to hotels and resorts the past weeks.

With the decreasing number of Covid-19 positive cases and steady increase in the number of recoveries from the deadly respiratory disease, Chan said Lapu-Lapu City is expecting to be placed under the Modified General Community Quarantine soon.

“With God’s grace, we hope He will continue to bless us with lower positive cases and higher recoveries,” Chan said.

Philippine Export Zone Authority locators and other business establishments in Lapu-Lapu City are now reaching almost 100 percent operational capacity as 50 to 70 percent of their employees has already returned to work, according to Chan.

“We really appreciate all the efforts shown, adhering to the safety protocols and precautionary measures as we are all reshaping our tourism industry,” she said. (Carlo Lorenciana)
