Strawberry Festival 2017

The Benguet Agri-Tourism and Cultural Village

There is a new tourism spot in La Trinidad and it is likely one of the the best tourism project for Benguet!

In a series of meetings by Municipal Tourism Officers and Municipal Agriculturists by the Provincial Government, the Benguet Agri-Tourism and Cultural Village was approved, and was launched last February 18, 2017. It was graced by no less than the Department of Tourism – Cordillera Administrative Region Director, Ms. Marie Venus Quinto-Tan.

The village was designed to be a show window of the 13 Benguet municipalities of their tourism assets which includes their Agri-produce (which Benguet is known for). The organizer also intends to take advantage of the influx of tourists who are visiting the Strawberry Farms, which is the most established tourist site in La Trinidad.

A Benguet Agri-Tourism and Cultural Tour Circuit was also proposed featuring the Strawberry Farms, visit to Benguet Agri-Pinoy Trading Facility, a learning tour at the Benguet Agri-Tourism and Cultural Village, and Dining at the Marosan Viewdeck to encourage tourists to use the Longlong road when going back to Baguio City.
