During the recent 2023 National Convention, the DOT, through its Office of Tourism Standards and Regulations , presented the department’s mandate and regulatory functions before the PCL members and highlighted the important role they play when it comes to tourism.
The PCL is the biggest among local government associations and "stands at the forefront of contemporary and emerging trends in local administration and development to help improve the quality of life of all Filipinos through effective local legislation." "On top of its participation in the PCL National Convention, the DOT-OTSR initiates activities with different LGUs as part of its program to promote tourism quality and DOT accreditation," the DOT disclosed in a statement.
