Introduction:

Philippine delicacies have been a part of Filipino everyday snacks especially in the provinces, but beyond being snacks it has also defined a town, province, region and a nation. Yet, there has been little improvements in the manufacturing and marketing of these delicacies.

My idea is to for each province will have a delicacy center where local and foreign tourists can watch how different local/ provincial delicacies are made from raw materials to preparation, to cooking, to packaging. Visitors can buy different delicacies at the end of the plant tour.

Revenue Generation

The first revenue source comes from an entrance fee tourist have to pay. Second, is from the sales from the delicacies bought by tourist.

Manpower:

Delicacy workers:

Initially, to be qualified delicacy worker, applicants must know how to make the delicacy. In the Future, a training program can be made for provincial residents to learn how to create the delicacies for continuity.

Finance Team (cashiers and accountants):

The delicacy center should have a financial team to take care and monitor the financial activities such as orders, purchasing raw materials from provincial suppliers and worker compensations.

Administration:

A team to look after over all operations and marketing of the delicacy center.

Suppliers:

The delicacy can also partner with local suppliers to provincial suppliers to provide them ingredients 

Benefits:

This business does not only uplift the income of local delicacy manufacturers and suppliers but also helps develop provincial tourism. 

Reflection:

I believe in preserving the Filipino heritage, and food being one of them, we have to preserve the tradition of manufacturing them and as we enter a new era, we have to be able to lift the manufacturing processes in the areas of food safety, food packaging and research and development for our delicacies in order for this heritage to be relevant to today's world 3
