Training on Basic Ecotour-guiding
In partnership with the Municipal Tourism Office, ENF has been conducting skills trainings on tourism-related services, such as food and beverage service, kitchen skills, housekeeping, massage services, and basic ecotour-guiding.
In recognition of its efforts in promoting sustainable agriculture, and as part of Sharing Lessons Learned, ENF was invited by the Department of Agriculture, through then Sec. Proceso Alcala, to be a Resource Speaker during the National Organic Agriculture Congress held at the PICC on October 18, 2013.
