Sustainable Tourism: "Philippines as a Tourist Destination"

Abstract:

Tourism is very vital to a country’s economic development. It augments business opportunities, employment and incomes and serves as a medium for cross-cultural exchanges. However, a country’s environment or natural resources should not be compromised for the growth of its tourist industry. The preservation of the environment should be done for the future generations. Thus, development of tourism in a sustainable way and vice-versa should be one of the concerns not only of the government and stakeholders but also of the citizens/locals and tourists/visitors alike. Sustainable tourism doesn’t only mean protection of environmental integrity. It also means safeguarding the cultural heritage and integrity, living conditions and cultural pride of the local people.Can the Philippines tourist operators meet the criteria of sustainable tourism? Are the programs/ projects of the Philippine government and its agencies in particular the Department of Tourism effective enough to promote sustainable tourism? This research includes study of tourism policies / sustainability plans in the Philippines.Philippines as a tourist destination should protect itself against ecological, cultural and traditional degradation. Solution to negative impacts of tourism in the Philippines will be studied while looking into the flaws and ineffectiveness of the implementation of its policies.
