MANILA– The Department of Tourism (DOT) is keen on including climate-smart agriculture in its promotion of agri-tourism, a ranking official said Wednesday.
Undersecretary Benito Bengzon Jr. noted that climate-smart agriculture is a “fairly new concept to some” but it is something that the DOT could include in its promotion of farm tourism.
“I think climate-smart (agriculture) and green technology, the movement has started already and the fact that we are seeing a lot of resort and hotels going green is an indication of deeper appreciation to protect the environment and in the long-term, for greater efficiency,” he said in an interview on the sides of the weekly Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum.
