LEGAZPI, Albay: The government must invest at least P45 billion a year in the Philippine tourism industry for the next 10 years to be able to spur and harness its full potential, Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said.

“Right now it’s [the government] just investing P12 billion a year in tourism. So I think it’s a far, far cry to what we can do. So definitely, the next thing really is to allow DPWH (Department of Public Works and Highways) to invest in public works, not just roads but also in facilities,” the governor said.
