Senator Francis Tolentino has supported the reopening of hotels, restaurants and other vital establishments the soonest possible time citing the need for Tagaytay to get back on its feet immediately.
“Hotels and restaurants form the backbone of Calabarzon region’s tourism industry. Their non-operation has an effect on national economy,” Tolentino said.
The Senator sat down with Tagaytay’s tourism council in an emergency meeting this morning here to help them come up with a common decision to re-open their businesses simultaneously.
The council will pass a resolution addressed to Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat for her review.

The council, composed of hotel and restaurant owners and operators, has agreed to open on January 24 in time for the Chinese New Year where tourists and guests who have been previously booked in their facilities are expected to arrive.
Tolentino said he will also seek guidance from Phivolcs Director Renato Solidum if it was safe for hotel operators to re-open their businesses to tourists.
Hotels and restaurants in Tagaytay voluntarily shut down operations following Taal Volcano’s eruption on Sunday. Authorities likewise advised business owners not to accommodate guests for their safety due to Taal’s imminent destructive eruption.
Operators said they are unable to open business until water and power supply in this mountain-resort city is fully restored. (MCA/PIA LAGUNA)
