Experiential Educational Tour 2026: Ilocos Region

The successful completion of our three-day Experiential Educational Tour in the Ilocos Region provided the students with meaningful opportunities to connect classroom learning with actual industry practices, historical appreciation, cultural immersion, and tourism development initiatives within the region.

📍 Day 1
The tour commenced with visits to some of the most significant historical and cultural attractions in Paoay, including the iconic Paoay Church, a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site. Students also explored Batac where they experienced traditional empanada making, providing insights into local culinary heritage and entrepreneurship. The group further visited Malacañang of the North, Sarrat Church, and the Marcos Museum to deepen their understanding of Philippine history and governance. The day concluded with an exciting adventure at the Paoay Sand Dunes, where students appreciated the region’s natural tourism assets and recreational tourism activities.

📍 Day 2
The second day focused on the natural and sustainable tourism destinations of Northern Ilocos. Students visited the historic Cape Bojeador Lighthouse and admired the scenic beauty of Pagudpud. The educational journey continued at the Bangui Wind Farm and Kapurpurawan Rock Formation, where students learned about renewable energy, environmental preservation, and sustainable tourism practices. The day also included a Seminar on the Tourism Situation of the Ilocos Region, which provided valuable industry perspectives, current tourism trends, and developmental insights relevant to the students’ academic programs.

📍 Day 3
The final day highlighted the rich artistry, heritage, and cultural identity of Vigan. Students explored Hidden Garden, observed traditional pottery-making at Pagburnayan, and visited Baluarte. The tour concluded with a meaningful cultural immersion at the Vigan Heritage Village, where students witnessed the enduring beauty of Spanish colonial architecture and the importance of heritage conservation in tourism development.

This educational tour served as a valuable avenue for experiential learning, allowing students to enhance their knowledge, develop professional competencies, strengthen camaraderie, and appreciate the cultural and historical significance of the Ilocos Region. Through this journey, students were able to embody academic excellence, cultural sensitivity, and responsible tourism practices beyond the four corners of the classroom.
