A total of 15 establishments in Antique participated in the housekeeping training for tourism stakeholders conducted by the Department of Tourism (DOT-6).

The three-day training aims to equip participants with skills and knowledge required to provide housekeeping services (maintenance of facilities and amenities) to guests in their respective establishments.

According to Antique Provincial Tourism Officer JC Perlas, the training was a big help to local stakeholders in terms of housekeeping skills.

“This is helpful especially now that we are in the pandemic scenario. This is to ensure the protection and safety of every worker and the guests as well,” he said.

The establishments that took part in the training were Villa Gloria, Esprutingkle Hotel, Orr Beach Resort, Pinnacle Suites and Function, Hotel 5700, Campolly Highland Resort, Golden Salakot Hotel, Pearl Garden Resort, Adelaide Inn, DJ Cloud Inland Resort, Hofberd Resort, Bunk Haus, Aces and E Hotel, Parvanna Inn and Suites, and Eagles Hotel.

Aside from housekeeping training, the DOT-6 in partnership with the Antique Provincial Tourism, also conducted a training for personnel in charge of the front offices of tourism establishments.IMT
