Not usually known as a tourist destination, an unprecedented surge in tourism has graced the 4th District with numbers having “more than tripled.” Local chief executives and administrators have attributed the influx to renewed pushes for tourism and infrastructure around the protection and rehabilitation of heritage sites and traditions.
Barotac Nuevo Mayor Bryant Paul “BP” Q. Biron believes that a collective cultural identity in the 21st century is integral to this combined success. Barotac Nuevo’s latest accomplishments include the construction of the Tamasak Arena where the first Tamasak Festival will soon be held, the modernized and eco-friendly Market Mall, and the Ina Farmers Learning Site and Agri Farm. With these latest attractions, locals and tourists are reminded of their histories while building a strong and stable economy from the ground up.
