D. Development Second Day Tourism Information Sources
Pagpapaunlad
1 Hour Information about tourism may be obtained from the following:
• Tourism commissions, ministries, or destination management organizations.
In the Philippines, these include provincial/City/Municipal Tourism
Offices and the Department of Tourism (DOT) Regional Offices.
• The tourists themselves through their blogs and feedback sheets
• Electronic sources, such as websites, social media, and online videos
officially uploaded by tourism establishments.
• Books, brochures, pamphlets, flyers, and travel guides.
• Familiarization tours and trips
• Interviews with locals
We classify the abovementioned sources of information into two:

1. PRIMARY SOURCES refers to those with first-hand experience of the

destination meaning you witnessed or went the place personally. Primary
tourist resources are those that exist, or originally existed, for non-tourist
purposes. Example: School field trips, oral history; natural landscape
(e.g. mountains, rainforests, coral reefs), religious buildings (such as
mosques and temples), and defensive sites (castles, city walls).
2. SECONDARY SOURCES refers to reports and publications. It provides provide
second-hand information and commentary from other researchers. Examples
include journal articles, reviews, and academic books. Secondary
tourist resources are those that were deliberately built to satisfy the needs of
tourists. Examples include hotels, restaurants, and theme parks.

A TOUR COMMENTARY
A tour commentary is a narrative used by a tour guide to describe a site
and provide information about various aspects of a country to tourists while
on a tour. They are generally referred to as the “guide’s speak” Refers to
what tour guides say in front of the guests when describing an attraction and
include general information and local stories about attractions or sites, local
tales, events and personalities related to the attraction.
TYPE OF COMMENTARY
1. Required is a memorized script usually provided by a company for its
guides. Deviations from the required commentary are highly discouraged, if
not prohibited by the company. Example: is the spiel delivered by guides in a
theme park attraction.
2. Informative sometimes referred to as interpretation, an informative
commentary highlights the guide’s role as an educator. Through an
informative commentary, the tour guide explains to the visitors the meaning
and relevance of the things and symbols in the environment in a language
that the visitors could easily understand and relate to.
3. Requested is when requested or asked, tour guide shall provide
commentary to address particular needs and inquiries of the tourists.
Although this type of commentary can be called for on an ad hoc basis, tour
guides must still come prepared. - In this regard, it is important for tour guides
to know their assigned city or location very well.
4. Optional highlight the guide’s engaging and entertaining traits, like on
requested commentary, an optional commentary allows for the tour
guide’s deeper involvement in a conversation and analysis. In this way,
the tourists can have a better appreciation of the tour and the attraction
