The "Trabaho, Turismo, Asenso!" Job Fair on March 30-31, 2023, encourages more job seekers to apply land tourism-related establishments to join the hunt for new workers and fill their vacancies.

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma, the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Department  of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will collaborate to launch the Philippine Tourism Job Fair themed "Trabaho, Turismo, Asenso!" to help Filipinos find work while also assisting the accommodation and service sectors in addressing labor shortages, which will lead to the tourism industry's sustained revival after the pandemic.  

The DOT and DOLE Regional Offices 10 will hold the said job fair in Cagayan de Oro City on March 30 and 31, 2023, at the Limketkai Atrium, as part of the MOU.
