TOURISTS and balik-bayans will have the chance to enjoy Cebu more as the Provincial Capitol scheduled the Suroy-Suroy Sugbo in the north on Jan. 19 to 21.
Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia said they have arranged for day tours in Bantayan Island in order to accommodate those who are waitlisted.
They have allotted 160 slots for the three-day Suroy-Suroy, but it was stretched to 207.
The governor considered it “phenomenal” because 130 slots were immediately taken when their booth first opened at SM City Cebu.
She said most of the resorts in Bantayan were already fully-booked so they have re-packaged the tour. Some can’t stay overnight in the island and may stay in the mainland after a day tour.
“We have to stretch the Bantayan accommodation because some are by threes and by foursalready. At present, it has been stretched to 207 slots, all fully-paid,” she said.
She said senior citizens will be joining and a big group from Las Vegas.
The first stop will be in the town of Consolacion, and the tour will end in Liloan town.
