TOURISTS in Dagupan can now take the River Cruise from the newly opened docking site, called ‘Daungan Ed Dawel’, located below the bridge at the Dawel area.

City Tourism Officer Mary Rose Teng-Mejia said the docking site is a “realization of a dream and a concrete reminder of what Dagupan is: Pandaragupan, which mean meeting place”.

The River Cruise is part of the strategy of Mayor Benjamin Lim’s administration to boost the city’s tourism sector.

“We thought of zeroing in on tourism as a vehicle for bringing more tourists to Dagupan and jobs to Dagupeños,” Lim said.

The river cruise was initially launched as part of the activities for the 2011 Bangus Festival held April. (PIA-Pangasinan)
