The Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management Program at the Palawan State University Coron Campus is taking on a significant challenge by serving a first-class municipality, the third-largest island in the Calamianes, and one of the best islands in the world. The program must meet the demands of the municipality's expanding and evolving tourism and hospitality sector. The campus's mission and purpose is to supply quality human resources, so it submitted the program to accreditation to ensure that the authorities' criteria were being upheld. With the help of their findings and recommendations, our program's quality can be assured, and we can strengthen the areas where we fall short.

The program will always be grateful to the team of accreditors that assisted us in our quest. This voyage was indeed not a one-man show. From here on, we commit to pursuing excellence constantly and preparing ourselves for the challenges that lie ahead.

Thank you and Mabuhay!
