The Department of Labor and Employment and Department of Tourism on Thursday launched the three-day Trabaho Turismo Asenso: Philippine Tourism Job Fair at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco said the program aims to assist jobseekers to determine career openings that they wish to pursue, while Labor Undersecretary Carmela Torres said that they are seeking to help the tourism sector to find the most needed workers and support jobseekers on their quest to local employment in the sector.

"To further assist our kababayans and make their job-seeking experience more seamless at the Trabaho, Turismo, Asenso!

Philippine Tourism Job Fair, the DoT and DoLE have opened the pre-registration for all three legs of the fair, covering one step of the application process," Frasco said.
