DAGUPAN CITY, PANGASINAN—The city has launched an online campaign to promote tourism in the province.
In its website, the Dagupan City government said it has invited local netizens through the Dagupan City Tourism Office to take part in the first “Dagupan Tweetup and Website” launching ceremony on June 20.
The campaign kicked off with river cruise boats equipped with a Wi-Fi connection afloat the shore of the Daungan sa Dawel in Bonuan Gueset, Dagupan where the vessels are docked.
The campaign was brought online to keep pace with the times and for people to know more about the city and to reach out to Dagupeños around the world, the city government said.
The campaign is also expected to benefit fisherfolks and will result to cleaner rivers, and that “tourism is employment, not just enjoyment,” Mayor Benjie S. Lim said.
Social media enthusiasts can also participate in the campaign through the website.
To participate in increasing the awareness of the public about the city’s tourism program, the city government is also encouraging everyone to log on to www.dagupantourism.com and spread its URL on social networking sites, repost “What’s Up Dagupan” blog entries or create a similar blog and use on twitter the following hashtags: #AgewNaDagupan, #DaguFUN and #DawelRiverCruise.
