First tourist rest area in Pangasinan set to be opened by DOT
The Department of Tourism (DOT) is developing 100 Tourist Rest Areas (TRAs) nationwide to enhance the travel experience for tourists.
A Memorandum of Agreement was signed between DOT Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco and Pangasinan Governor Ramon Guico III for the construction of a TRA in Lingayen, Pangasinan.
This TRA will be fully funded by the DOT through the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) and will be managed by the Lingayen local government upon completion.
The project aims to improve visitor facilities and strengthen tourism infrastructure, with Secretary Frasco highlighting it as a priority under the Marcos administration.
Governor Guico expressed optimism that the TRA will encourage longer stays and inspire tourists to explore more of Pangasinan's attractions.
