Tourist Attraction: Villa Escudero
Product/Service Offering
 The Resort has a lot to offer in terms of attractions, 
including one of the biggest private collections of
antiquities in the Philippines, peaceful nature
viewing, fishing, swimming, and other outdoor
leisure activities.
 Everyone must visit the Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant,
the destination's distinctive and well-known major
attraction. Additionally, the Philippine Experience
Show showcases long-forgotten indigenous dances
from all throughout the country.
 Explore our museum, which is home to one of the
biggest private collections of ancient artifacts in the
nation. Watch the Philippine Experience Show to
experience the rich cultural heritage of the nation. On
the river's calm waters, row a raft made of natural
bamboo. Discover our verdant surroundings while
viewing a variety of local bird species. Or unwind by
swimming in our pool.
Positive Tourism Impacts on the Host
Community
 Given that the tourist industry inherently interacts
closely with many other sectors, including the
restaurant and hotel industries, employment is one of
the most important benefits of tourism to any host
town. Thus, the requirement for additional workers
by tourism businesses will result in new employment
prospects for the unemployed.
 When foreigners travel to another nation, they seek to
understand the culture of the local populace. As a
result, this home is ideal because it offers its visitors a
distinctive experience.
 When tourism is practiced in a way that invests in host
communities, doing so gives them the information,
skills, and resources they need to start their own
companies if they so desire. In a word, sustainable
tourism is about empowering locals beyond menial
occupations and letting them design the kind of tourist
they wish to provide while also understanding their
own motivation
 One advantage of tourism is its capacity to conserve
cultures by encouraging visitors to participate in
genuine cultural activities, preserve natural places and
resources, and provide locals with chances to take on
stewardship and leadership roles in environmental
management.

Product/Service Description
There are many apartments available in the villa, such
as the Longhouse Unit, which is an apartment-style
unit built with modern comfort in mind while utilizing
local finishing materials. These units are located in a
secluded area of the Resort. These accommodations,
known as Executive Longhouse Units, provide two
double beds as well as a trundle bed for visitors. For
further privacy, each unit has a door that opens to a
garden. Each Riverside Unit was built with locally
available materials to promote natural ventilation and
let cool river air flow up into the units from the
bottom. The rooms in our Gumamela suites' Executive
Riverside Unit have a queen bed and a twin bed. Each
of the Pascua suites has a king bed as well as a double
bed. The Presidential Suite, which is our last option,
has a sizable patio that overlooks the river. The air-
conditioned Suite has a queen bed, a trundle bed, and a
hammock inside that are all furnished with local
materials.
Negative Tourism Impacts on the Host
Community
 Tourism frequently leads to the disruption of
inhabitants' daily routines, a loss of privacy, and
congestion in the host nation. This has a negative
effect on the social lives of the locals, which makes
the citizens of the host nation feel unfavorably about
tourism.
 The density of visitor arrivals, risk of illness
transmission, risk of traffic accidents, increased
crime rates, as well as traffic congestion, crowding,
and other stressful conditions are all elements that
have short-term detrimental effects on inhabitants'
health.
 Tourists frequently disrespect the customs and
cultures of the host country out of a lack of
knowledge and due diligence. Although they are
frequently too polite to express it, this causes tension
with the locals.
 The misuse of tourism earnings is another unfavorable
effect of tourism in emerging economies. Indigenous
peoples from third-world nations receive no benefit
and live in awful conditions. Despite what is provided
to tourists, this kind of host community experiences
severe poverty, land confiscation, poor health, and
limited access to education.

Reflection: Do you think the attraction has an overall positive impact on the host community? Support
your answer.

Aside from the fact that the villa is very large and can offer both skilled and unskilled work, one of the
primary reasons why Villa Escudero has a beneficial impact on the host community is that it allows you to
experience the charm of Philippine rural life. They can also assist local businesses that will inevitably
emerge when tourists demand their services, such as merchants, food vendors, and souvenir dealers.
Tourists make purchases in the host community, and the money they spend will inevitably be invested in
the local economy to raise living standards. If they can draw more visitors, they will be able to construct
better facilities, upgrade their infrastructure, and create new roads, parks, and open spaces.
