CITY OF SAN FERNANDO --- The local government unit of San Fernando through its City Tourism and Investment Promotions Office and the Department of Tourism (DOT) in Central Luzon hosted on

October 1-2 the “Community-based Kulinarya: Palengke Tourism” seminar-workshop.

Some 25 officers and representatives of municipal tourism offices, travel and tour agencies, restaurants, and DOT-accredited tour guides joined the "palengke tourism."

The participants were taken to a tour at the City Market Plaza in the poblacion area where they experience various homegrown food offerings and products.

The project also featured a seminar-workshop on “The Palengke: An Examination of the History, Sociology, and Anthropology of the Food and Marketplace” facilitated by the DOT.
