\nAttap President Gilda Padua led her group\u2019s tour of the 10 old churches over the weekend in time for Holy Week when Roman Catholics visit their places of worship in a tradition called Visita Iglesia.
\nThe churches in Betis, Guagua and Minalin towns have been declared National Cultural Treasures.

\n\u201cAttap initiated the project to inform our members of Pampanga\u2019s tourism products. Its takeoff project was a journey to the 10 churches of Pampanga,\u201d said Padua, who operates the two Ties That Travel agencies at SM Clark and Pandan, this city.
\nShe said Attap plans to develop tour programs of the churches by working closely with the Pampanga tourism office.
\nPineda welcomed the Attap project to boost tourism in the province. The first-term governor said, \u201cOur churches should be the prime attraction in our province.\u201d
\nThe churches visited by Attap were (First District) Holy Rosary Parish in Angeles City; (Second District) Sta. Lucia Parish, Sasmuan; St. James the Apostle Parish, Betis, Guagua; St. Augustine Parish, Lubao; and Sta. Rita Parish, Sta. Rita; (Third District) San Guillermo Parish, Bacolor and Metropolitan Cathedral, City of San Fernando; (Fourth District) Sta. Monica Parish, Minalin; San Luis Gonzaga Parish, San Luis; and St. Peter the Apostle Parish, Apalit.
\nPadua said the Attap\u2019s tour was a \u201cdry run\u201d to check its timing to improve the itinerary of the package trips for local and foreign tourists.
\n\u201cLook, the trip to old churches has big potentials,\u201d said Attap member Agnes Gomez, pointing to three fully loaded buses whose passengers were in the midst of a tour of the 10 churches.
\n\u201cIf Attap and all stakeholders help in promoting it, then there will be more tourists in Pampanga,\u201d said Gomez, who operates the Travel Shop Co. based here.
