“…However, the thought of having an increase in noise shouldn't happen because the locals are used of having a peaceful place. Foucat [20] found the protection of natural sites as bery important for the development of social aspects such as community cohesion, organization and improvement in the condition of local people's health. Communal rather than individual benefits will be inculcated when young foreign people stay in the locality.…”

Abstract. The study was conducted to determine the acceptability of the residents of Barangay Casile, Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines in transforming their locality into an ecoagri tourism site. A total of 241 residents participated in the data collection using a survey questionnaire and interviews. Barangay Casile is an agricultural area and is also noted for its natural heritage such as the Matang Tubig River and Falls and the Marcos Twin Tower. Because of this, the local government unit of Cabuyao City plans to develop the area as a nature-based tourism destination specifically as an eco-agri tourism site. The survey revealed that the respondents agreed on the proposition of transforming their area into agri-tourism site. Cultural acceptability ranks the highest which means that the locals are open on the possible effects on their culture that the development could bring them. Economic and social acceptability were also ranked high because of the income they could get from the influx of tourists. Environmental acceptability is the least agreeable because most of the respondents were environment sensitive and are concerned with the changes to the natural façade of their area. It can be concluded that agri-tourism development involving local residents provides control over the development and management of the project.

“…These results lead to accept the first hypothesis indicating that forest owners have different views toward the construction of infrastructure in the forest. Those views are associated to the benefits they expect to obtain corroborating what McFarlane et al (2011) observed. There are several studies on the role of ecotourism and its contribution to increase rural income (Wunder 2000;Foucat 2002). Results of the study lead to reject our second hypothesis, forest owners do not perceive ecotourism as their primary source of income, which will eventually substitute farming.…”

The use of forest land for ecotourism has been well accepted due to its ability to provide income to local people and to conserve the forest. Preparing the forest with infrastructure to attract and educate visitors has been reported of importance. This study applied Q methodology in a small rural community of the State of Puebla, Mexico, to reveal forest owners' perceptions to build infrastructure in their forest as part of their ecotourism project. It also discloses forest owners' underlying motives to use their forest for ecotourism. Ecotourism is perceived as a complementary activity to farming that would allow women to be involved in community development. Low impact infrastructure is desired due to forest owners' perception to preserve the forest for the overall community well-being.

Another is the ST-EP (Sustainable Tourism and Eliminating Poverty), which is proposed by World Tourism Organization in 2002 [2]. Pro-poor tourism (PPT) is a kind of tourism development mode which can promote to reduce poverty, that the net benefit to the poor from tourism development [3].…”
