Planting, nurturing, growing tourism

THE relatively new regional director of the Department of Tourism, Camiguin-born Catalino Echaves Chan III, is no stranger to Cebu. Chan is the son of the late retired Judge Ceferino Chan and his wife Mercedes Echaves and is named after his uncle and grandfather, Catalino Jr. and Sr. He came to Cebu for his college studies at the University of San Carlos where he was a member of the university dance troupe, becoming its president in his senior year.
