Cebu Hobby Events Organizers' Roundtable: Podcast #76 [Jay Agonoy / keepsakes.]
Channel: Jay Agonoy
Date: 2020-05-31

Cebu, the Queen City of the South, has a thriving community of hobbyists - from Anime, Cosplay, Art and even Board Games. A friendly community where creativity, passion and fun is enjoyed by fellow hobbyists.

The city is a host for a variety of hobby events which gathers hundreds - if not thousands - of guests coming not only from the Province of Cebu but also from places as far as Dumaguete, Iloilo, and even Manila! Events like the ones present today are not just for the locals but also for the tourists.

Unfortunately, events - regarded as mass gatherings - are suspended due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As part of the Tourism Industry, /the events industry is badly hit with quarantine restrictions and health concerns. 

While we have to determine the financial impact of the Pandemic in the country’s Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) industry, there is already a call for the said industry to be prioritized in the Tourism Recovery Plan of the Department of Tourism.
