DAVAO CITY — In an era where travel decisions are made with a scroll and a click, Surigao del Sur is making sure its tourism game keeps pace with the times.

The Provincial Tourism Office of Surigao del Sur, represented by Ms. Albina Marie C. Perez, Administrative Assistant II, proudly took part in the Tourism Marketing Educational Seminar (TMES) 2025, held in Davao City from October 5 to 10, 2025.

Organized by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), in collaboration with the Department of Tourism – Caraga Regional Office, TMES 2025 brought together tourism officers, digital marketers, and key regional stakeholders for a week-long capacity-building seminar themed:

“Digital Destinations: Elevating Tourism Through Social Media.”

As part of a growing movement to transition tourism promotion into the digital age, TMES 2025 encouraged participants to become digital storytellers, capable of turning their province’s tourism assets into compelling online narratives that resonate with both domestic and international audiences.

With more travelers relying on online content to plan their journeys, the seminar is seen as a vital step in enhancing local tourism offices' ability to compete and thrive in the digital marketplace, where visibility, engagement, and authenticity are key.

The Provincial Tourism Office extends its heartfelt appreciation to Ms. Perez for representing Surigao del Sur with excellence and professionalism. Her efforts contribute to a future-ready tourism strategy, one that ensures the province remains top-of-mind, culturally rich, and digitally visible.

Salamat Kadayaw!
