 Strategies in Sustaining the Increasing Number of Tourist in the Philippines

1) We should meet the needs of the presents and to ensure the growth of the country.

2) Scheduled checking of performance in terms of safety, security, health, business environments, and tourist

service infrastructure.

3) Develop a knowledgeable tourism policy.

4) Product development and improvement of marketing strategies.

5) Enhancement of travel facilitation and cultural offerings.

6) Risk and crisis management.

Reasons for the decreasing number of Filipino Immigrant Tourist

1) Our fellow Filipino citizens having a relationship with foreign people.

2) Job opportunities offered by other countries.

3) Because of poverty Filipinos tend to migrate to other countries to support their family needs.

4) Better medical and educational benefits and living conditions.

 General Plan of the Department

Tourism in all its forms has become a very important lynchpin of the strategy for economic growth.

Right now, the economy is service-based and it would be great if we could even approach the tourism

numbers of some of the other ASEAN countries. Ecotourism seems to be the one form that would require

the least infrastructure investment, so in the short term, we definitely would like to look at being able to

develop a supply chain of ecotourism attractions for visitors.

In terms of the economy, we're looking to diversify sources of revenue. Today, the economy is

driven really by remittances from OFWs—overseas Filipino workers—and the income derived from the

BPO—business process outsourcing—industry. Ecotourism allows us to highlight or to pour some money

or revenue into areas of the country which have otherwise been left unattended and untouched.

As we help our nation to improve and enhance more, we should be the one promoting our country

by effective plans and systems for clean, healthy, safe and friendly environment
