ATTY. ARNEL LAPORE

President
Central Negros Cooperative
Bacolod City

Dear Atty. Lapore:

September has been declared by the United Nations World Tourism Organization UNWTO)as World
Tourism Month in order to raise awareness on the role of tourism within the international community
and to demonstate how it affects social, cultural, political and economic values worldwide.

Since its UN declaration in l997, World Tourism Month celebration has adopted a variety of themes
such as tourism and diversity or tourism and the role of women, among others. This year’s theme is
‘Tourism and Sustainable Energy: Powering Sustainable Development” which highlights the need to
bring the tourism sector and energy stakeholders closer together to spur tourism ‘s contribution to
sustainability.

. We will have our own Bacolod World Tourism Week celebration on September 24 to 28, 2012, with
several tourism and energy conservation- related activities. Along this line, we believe that our office
and our power cooperative, the CENTRAL NEGROS ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, can work together to
make the theme workable to the public we both serve. We believe, as well, that with you at the helm of
the cooperative , its social corporate responsibility will be greatly felt.

May then invite CENECO to be our partner and co-sponsor for the Bacolod World Tourism Week
celebration through the following:

(l) put up an exhibit on sustainable energy at the lobby of the Government Center along with
Our exhibit on hotels and tourist spots in the city
(2) sponsor a brief forum/lecture on energy conservation, especially for hotels,restaurants
And other tourism-related establishment owners/representatives
(3) sponsor the quiz bowl and the cash prizes for high school and college students on
sustainable energy and tourism, with our office taking care of the mechanics and
participation

We are willing to sit down with you or your designated staff on these matters as we look forward
to a healthy and successful information dissemination on tourism and sustainable energy.

Very truly yours,

IMOGENE S. KANA-AN
