TAGBILARAN CITY — Governor Erico Aristotle Aumentado has urged tourism stakeholders in Bohol to adopt fair pricing practices and improve service quality across the sector, seeking to address public concerns about tourism costs in the province.
Aumentado made the appeal on Tuesday, citing renewed scrutiny of tourism prices following recent social media discussions. The governor emphasized that the province's expanding tourism industry should create opportunities for both established operations and ordinary Boholanos, rather than concentrating benefits among large-scale enterprises.
The call comes as Bohol continues to attract increasing numbers of visitors seeking its natural attractions and cultural heritage. The governor's statement underscores the provincial government's commitment to ensuring sustainable and inclusive tourism development that serves broader community interests.
Tourism operators and industry participants are being encouraged to balance profitability with accessibility, maintaining competitive rates while delivering enhanced customer experiences. Officials indicated that further dialogue with tourism stakeholders would help establish guidelines promoting fair market practices across the sector.
