The
Kannawidan Ylocos Festival on January 29 to February 5, 2012 drew local and
foreign tourists as more entertaining events had been included in the
celebrations.
Through this Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, we
are preserving and sustaining our old traditions, attractive products and
practices as we are also promoting our tourism industry.
Our
province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for
the next generations. However, many of these traditions, songs, dances and
other Ilocano cultures were not already familiar to the younger generations due
to the influence of the television, computer and internet.
But, through our
Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, these traditions, customs and cultures are revived
to become more entertaining to give more fun and attractions to the visiting
tourists in the province. As an official
annual festival of the province our tourism industry was enhanced and helped
boost the demand of our products, more job opportunities and livelihood
opportunities were crated and more income for our people were generated.
