The TouRIST sites were selected “because of the rapid increase of tourism demand, potential for future development, lack of financing to address emerging capital investment needs, rich cultural heritage sites and biodiversity, and socio-economic impact for poverty alleviation,” noted the DOT report.

Tourism can be a catalyst for growth in the local economy, providing good quality jobs, opportunities for enterprise and funds for conservation. But if it is not managed well, tourism can have negative impacts on local communities and environments, creating long term problems for local residents, which can ultimately lead to the decline of tourism in the destination.

Over the years, the tourism policy of the Philippines has always reflected trends and developments in the travel industry, and ecotourism has been a particular focus due to its significant role in minimizing the impacts of tourism and the over-development of the country’s environment and natural resources. This is one of the reasons why the government has enacted tourism and environmental laws and has adopted a national strategy for ecotourism. ]]> 2021-08-12 15:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/japruiz/7sgwgtjz4uuf4eab/wish/1677019185 japruiz https://padlet.com/japruiz/7sgwgtjz4uuf4eab/wish/1677028271 The pandemic has forced the tourism sector to shift its focus to resiliency, sustainability and interconnectedness among diverse stakeholders in the sector.
