THE Baguio City Sports Office wants to develop sports as a tourism booster.

City sports coordinator Gaudencio Gonzales told Sun.Star Baguio the CSO is “preparing a proposal on how to keep up with the continuous growth of the local economy, particularly with the promotion of sports and sports tourism in the city.”

“For now we can only count a few national and international sport events that pick Baguio as one of their annual stop. However, we cannot predict how many more will be added in the next few years especially since Baguio continues to draw interest among different sports organizations,” Gonzales said.

He said the office is looking at a five-year plan for sports tourism development. (MVP)
