The Department of Tourism (DOT) regional office here is supporting efforts to establish Mount Huraw in San Jose de Buan, Samar, as a recognized mountaineering and ecotourism destination. The DOT, in collaboration with Bukid Outdoor Shop led by Jason Garrido, successfully conducted a six-day capacity-building workshop in San Jose de Buan from Sept. 15 to 20, 2025. The first three days focused on an organizational development workshop, bringing together local mountain guides, community leaders, and tourism stakeholders. Participants worked on improving collaboration, strengthening organizational structures, and adopting sustainable tourism practices to ensure long-term benefits for the community. This was followed by a scriptwriting and tour packaging workshop, where participants learned how to craft compelling tour narratives and design engaging yet sustainable tourism packages.
