Lesson Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Know the Philippine national regions and their provinces;
2. Locate the major Philippine cities and describe tourist attractions; and
3. Identify attractions that falls under the category of each type of tourism
According to the Department of Tourism, tourist visitors that arrived in the Philippines in 2013
reached a total of 4,681,307 which is 9.56% higher compared to 2012 with a total 4,272,811. Such
significant increase is a good manifestation of effective tourism campaign through the joint effort
of the government and private sector. For that particular year, the Philippines gained estimated total
revenue of 186.15 billion pesos, up by 15.1% from last year.
Uplifting the credibility of the entire country’s tourism is indeed a tough responsibility. But then,
as what they always say, “Success is not build within the night”; it has to undergo with the long
process of trials and error. One concrete example is the Department of Tourism’s campaign slogan
which is “It’s More Fun in the Philippines”; more than the tagline, government tourism agencies have
to ensure that the Philippines is capable of offering superb tourism experience to tourists from
different parts of the world. If this is not realized through policy implementation and search for
potential travel destinations, success will not be possible.
Specifically, there are various types of tourism attractions that the country can offer to
the world and will surely fit to the needs of leisure travelers.
1. Historical Tourism – The Philippines is a land of heroes, nationalists, and artists that can be
observed through many monuments, historical landmarks, museums, churches, and old
establishments. Tourism attractions related to our rich history are mainly being cared by the
National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP). Some of the historical tourism
attractions in the country are:
Las Piñas Church Cape Engaño Lighthouse College of San Juan de Letran

discovering their heritage and traditions, tasting their foods, celebrating in their events,
