SJROA and AHLRO Mission Accomplished in New York!
We are pleased to share the successful participation of SJROA at the Philippine Independence Day Celebration in New York City—where San Juan, Batangas was proudly showcased to a global audience.
The AHLRO booth served as a meaningful platform for direct engagement with Filipinos and international guests, generating strong interest in San Juan as a tourism destination.
SJROA President Ms. Simonette V. Gusi and Acuatico Beach Resort General Manager Ms. Patricia V. Gusi, were with Ms Corie Danan in the the full-day distribution of the San Juan Visitor Guide Book. Their presence ensured that every visitor encounter was personal, informative while promoting San Juan and the member resorts.
This initiative was made possible through the valued support of SJROA resort owners who placed advertisements in the Visitor Guide Book, as well as the Municipal Tourism Office of San Juan, Batangas, headed by Ms. Elsie Iyas-Sadsad, Chief Tourism Operations Officer, whose continued partnership strengthens our tourism promotion efforts.
We were also honored by the presence of Hon. Mayor Ildebrando D. Salud and the official delegation of San Juan, Batangas, whose visit to the booth and active participation in distributing materials reinforced the spirit of unity behind our tourism initiatives.
With strong engagement achieved and San Juan, Batangas clearly gaining attention and interest from both Filipino and international guests, this New York mission stands as a successful collective effort—showing what we can accomplish when our resort owners and Municipal Tourism Office work together with a shared vision of positioning San Juan, Batangas as a premier tourism destination.
