National Tourism Week 2009
This is just the 3rd or 4th time that General Santos City will be celebrating the National Tourism Week but it has already evolved into a major tourist draw for the Tuna Capital.
For one week, officially starting this afternoon with a program at the Oval Plaza Covered Court, GenSan’s version of this nationwide endeavor promises a bigger and more cohesive take on the theme: TOURISM – Celebrating Diversity.

Scheduled activities are:
- Photo Contest and Exhibit
- Please-Bring-Antique Contest
- Cleanest Restroom Contest
- Mural Painting Contest (MSU HS Campus Wall)
- Extempotarenous Speaking Contest
- Tourism Quiz Bee
- Search for Miss Tourism
- Cocktail and Mocktail Competition
- Mindanao Cultural Dance Competition
The National Tourism Week 2009 Celebration is spearheaded by the City Government of GenSan through the Office of the City Economic Management and Cooperative Development (CEMCD) under Mr. Edgar Cadiente, so expect this year’s conduct to be as colorful and as vibrant as the hues of the logo of “Magandang GenSan“.

One of the most promising INDUSTRY of GENSAN.. Dapat pagtuunan talaga ng pansin ito ng LGU para maka draw tau ng maraming tao not just in GENSAN but for the SOCSKSARGEN Region as a whole!
Alam naman natin ang effect ng TOURISM.. More people means more jobs, infrastructure and income not just for the people but also for the city…
We have the world renowed TUNA Industry, plus now the service industry in the city is booming, BPO Industry is making its headway… How about the TOURISM Industry? We really need a major facelift in this industry as a support our economy!
Mas lalo maganda if diversified tau at kahit bumagsak ang TUNA Industry (God Forbid) there are other industries in the city that can shoulder the burden! right?
Just expressing my sentiments lang po regarding our tourism industry! LOL

the local government unit of Gensan should not stop to boost the tourism of the city. may mga magagandang frameworks/guidelines na tayong nakikita but still there are more rooms for improvement. it is indeed highly commendable of what they are doing now in the city.
more power to Gensan…

In all fairness to our LGU and other stakeholders, they are doing their utmost to boost our tourism industry… I agree with you Bravo Six, there are still more rooms for improvements.. in fact, a whole lot of rooms for development!
