City tourism welcomes private sector recovery efforts

City Tourism Officer Generose Tecson

DAVAO CITY, Dec. 7 (PIA) – The Davao City Tourism Office welcomes the holding of small gatherings as private companies bounce back after two years of suffering economic losses due to the COVID19 pandemic.

Davao City Tourism Officer Generose Tecson bared during the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony of the Aeon Luxe Properties Inc held last December 1 at the Aeon Towers Commercial Arcade the sincerest gratitude of the local government of Davao for the support and cooperation given by the private sector tourism stakeholders during the time of the pandemic.

The Aeon Luxe, she said, is among the many private partners of the local government which contributed to the efforts of the city in the middle of the pandemic.

With the lowered alert level now at Level 2, restrictions are loosened and private businesses are given more leeway to bounce back and forge their way to the new normal.

“ Still, do remember that we have all the guidelines in place and it’s just a matter of following them. Let us also not forget the lessons that we have learned from the past months,” Tecson reminded the business community.

Meanwhile, private company owners organized private small gatherings to put across an important message as they recover from the ill-effects of the pandemic.

Aeon Luxe Properties Inc owner Ian Cruz shared that the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony symbolizes thanksgiving and hope.

“ As we celebrate the lights that shine our days, they will also remind us of the darkness that we have triumphed for us to see the stars,” Cruz said.

Other major hotel and accommodation companies in Davao City also lit up their giant Christmas trees and signaled the start of recovering and bouncing back to the new normal. (PIA XI/Frances Mae Macapagat)
