THE first ever academic partnership between two tourism schools in the Bimp-Eaga (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines-East Asean Growth Area) will be signed Monday.
The Joji Ilagan Foundation, College of Business and Tourism will be signing a Memorandum of Partnership with the Makassar Tourism Academy in Ujung Pandang, Indonesia.
The signing of the memorandum will be formalized Monday at the NCCC Convention Center in Matina at 2 p.m. during the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) program organized for the arrival of Secretary Augusto Syjuco.
The agreement will bring about closer cooperation and exchanges between the academic and tourism sector of Mindanao and Makassar in Indonesia.
The partnership is also an indication of the private sector's support to the business initiatives resulting from the dynamism of the Bimp-Eaga.
