BOHOL — The Provincial Government of Bohol is strengthening coordination among government offices and partner agencies to ensure the successful implementation of major provincial events.

The effort continued on August 14, 2026, when the Bohol Economic Development and Investment Promotion Office (BEDIPO) held the 10th Bantawan Stream Coordination Meeting at the Provincial Planning and Development Office Conference Room. The meeting focused on preparations for the Kaon Ta sa Bantawan Culmination 2026, including event updates, concerns and coordination needs.

The meeting highlighted the strong public interest in Bantawan 2026. Data showed that the event recorded 187,300 visitors as of August 9, with an average of 4,803 attendees per day. The figures reflect Bantawan’s growing role as a venue for tourism, local businesses and community activities in Bohol.

Preparing for Future Events

He also encouraged early preparations for Bantawan 2027, with plans to introduce new activities, improve visitor experiences and strengthen event operations.

Supporting Bohol’s Tourism and Local Economy

The continued collaboration supports the Provincial Government of Bohol’s Strategic Change Agenda, particularly its goals for sustainable tourism and local enterprise development. The initiative also contributes to the broader objectives of the Bohol Island UNESCO Global Geopark, helping position Bantawan as an important platform for tourism, culture, business and community engagement.
