TAMBUNAN: A total of 66,000 tourists , both domestic and foreign, have visited the district during Visit Tambunan Year (VTBN2017) until September this year, Tambunan Community Development Leader Silverius Bruno said.

He said the organizers had emphasized total or inclusive participation from all parties and communities in this area.

“The positive impact of the economy has begun to be seen and this is the result of  total concern, cooperation and involvement from all societies,” he said when officiating at the state-level Single Mothers Program in conjunction with the Welfare Month held at Pisompuruan Square here yesterday.

He said this area, with a population of about 40,000 people, had 15 places that could attract visitors to this area.
