“…The tourism industry players must ensure efficient and strong partnerships among the local government units (LGUs), the business entrepreneurs, the local communities in keeping Cebu a premier tourist destination hub in a sustainable manner. Alampay, et al (2018), the 2011-2016 Philippine National Tourism Development Plan is based on a destination development framework that identified 77 priority tourism destination areas (TDAs) in 21 regional clusters. The chapter provides an integrated case study of the tourism circuit planning approach adopted to operationalize the priority TDAs in 16 provinces, through a joint development program of the Philippine and Canadian governments.…”

All statistical computations were processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) Software. The margin of error was set at .05 alpha. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of respondents were highest educational attainment bachelor’s degree, rank in file for the position, natural with 1-5 years above in operation municipality of Tangalan.

“…Since the 1980s, the national and local governments in the Philippines have focused on developing sustainable tourism initiatives, with varying levels of success (Alampay, 2005;Alampay & Libosada, 2005;Libosada, 1998). Sustainable tourism development aims to generate income while at the same time incorporating ecological sustainability, equity and respect for local people and cultures (Alampay, 2005;Libosada, 1998). In practice, sustainable tourism initiatives in the Philippines lie somewhere between idealistic outcomes that foster alternative livelihoods, and darker, consumptive practices that damage the environment and exclude local populations.…”

Love, beauty and women who surf: Tourism, transnational relationships and social mobility on Siargao Island, Philippines

On Siargao Island, as elsewhere in the Philippines, women who enter into intimate relationships with Western men can attain economic capital, global opportunities and social mobility through their partners.On Siargao Island, local women who surf differentiate themselves from imaginings of 'other' Filipinas by emphasising their relationships with Western men as being 'for love' not money. Nevertheless, the economic benefits that can accrue to local women in transnational relationships is observable. However, through identification with surf culture, women who surf possess a global social capital and transnational networks that extend beyond their Western partners, and which alter the dynamics of these relationships in the women's favour.Further, local women's social mobility and adherence to the 'surfer girl' identity creates a space in which they are implicitly challenging colonial and class-based beauty ideals in the Philippines that privilege fair or light skin over darker skin.

“…While the rise of tourism in the Philippines has had a positive impact on its economy, great care must still be placed on the management of these natural destinations because they have been found to be highly sensitive to even the slightest influence (Alampay, 2005). Several countries in the past have adopted the ecotourism approach with varied results.…”

Abstract. Tangbo River is an important resource in Cebu’s southern town of Samboan for being the site of Aguinid Falls, a known tourist destination. Monitoring the changes in the river’s riparian vegetation is important since it has impacts on its ecological role of helping maintain biodiversity and river water quality. This study aims to detect vegetation index changes along the Tangbo River corridor using three vegetation indices: NDVI, EVI, NDMI, and Tasseled Cap indices, specifically for the years 1998, 2004, 2009, 2016, and 2019. It also aims to monitor the changes in NDVI and EVI values alongside tourism arrivals in Aguinid in 2018.Cloudless Landsat 5 (1998, 2004, 2009, and 2016) and Landsat 8 (2019) imagery were selected. Thirty reference points were plotted along the river with a 30-m distance between each point. Vegetation Indices (VI) and Tasseled Cap values were generated using data from these points and were compared for each selected year. NDVI and EVI values from the same reference points used in Landsat were generated from selected cloudless months of 2018 Planetscope imagery. Inbound tourist records were acquired from the tourism office of Samboan and the tourism arrivals for the year 2018 was then graphed with the Planetscope VI values for better visualization.Landsat imagery showed that there was a general upward trend in the vegetation indices from 1998 to 2019. Tasseled Cap Greenness and Wetness showed an increase in values from 1998–2019 while Tasseled Cap Brightness showed the opposite. Results from Planetscope data for the year 2018 showed that there was an inverse pattern between NDVI and tourism arrivals. Tourism arrivals peaked during the months of April and May based on annual records, while VI values dropped. On the other hand, both VI values peaked towards the last quarter of the year while tourist numbers dropped. This suggests that the pattern of VI values and tourism arrivals seemed to be influenced by seasonal changes rather than with each other. Findings from the study shows that further data collection is required to be able to establish a relationship between tourism and vegetation index values.
