Trained tourism personnel operate the information center during working hours from Monday to Friday, helping visitors find accommodation, local cuisine, tourism sites, and cultural activities guests can delve into.

The information center will also be equipped with an internet connection and a lounge, according to Provincial Tourism Officer JC Cadiao Perlas, who stressed the importance of giving guests a warm Antiqueño welcome.

During the launching of Tourism Month 2023 on the same day, Perlas said that the Provincial Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office continues to advocate for sustainable tourism especially the Antique boasts its rich biodiversity.

The official also cited the important role of the “Tumanduk,” or ethnic Antiqueños, in tourism and environmental conservation since they serve as the first line of defense against unchecked tourist activities.

Perlas then cited the initiatives of the provincial government and all stakeholders in securing the distinct cultural identity of the province for it to live on amongst future generations.

Over recent years, Antique has been in the works to safe keep its cultural assets and it has already produced the heirloom recipe book “Flavors of Antique," the collection of photographs from Antique’s past entitled “Handurawan," and the Antiqueño cultural compendium “Duna, Kinaiya kag Paranublion.”
