CITY OF SAN FERNANDO To meet the growing demand of those planning to visit Bataan province, the provincial tourism office has launched the "Travel and Behold Bataan Tour" patterned after a program in Bali, Indonesia.
“During our benchmarking activity in Bali, Indonesia, we have observed that we can do better, particularly in valuing our culture because this defines who we are, what we have, our roots and history. We hope that through the packages we developed, it is the beginning of how we are going to promote and give a glimpse of what Bataan has to offer.
