FARM TOURISM HEARING: Senator Cynthia Villar, chair of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food, discusses a proposal seeking to establish a comprehensive program for the development and promotion of farm tourism in the country. "A sustainable tourism is an opportunity for business development and job creation, as well as for stimulation of investment and support for local services, even in far-flung areas. Tourism can help promote conservation by raising awareness among visitors through well-designed programs both at the local and national levels," Villar said. (PRIB Photo by Cesar Tomambo/ 26 May 2015)
