SOLUTIONS
We already know how expensive commodities are in Cagbalete. There
are others who cannot pay the expensive price, therefore if it cannot
be decreased, there's no people that will visit the resort. So I
recommend that lower prices will help the resort to gain more visitors.

Educating people about the importance of conserving resources and

adopting eco-friendly practices can lead to more responsible behavior
also Implementing conservation programs for forests, water bodies,
and wildlife habitats can help preserve natural resources.
 CONCLUSION
Maintaining the resort’s beauty is the main priority. And in order
to maintain the positive impact of tourism in Cagbalete, all tourists
should know how to follow the rules and regulations of the said
place, because with that, they will see, learn, and appreciate the
value of the tourist spot. Additionally, we should turn the negative
impacts into positive ones. This means that the negative
feedbacks or impacts received should serve as a stepping stone
for the improvement of the resort.
 CONCLUSION
Moreover, it is important to implement responsible
tourism practices, such as water conservation
measures, waste management, and protection of
natural resources. Additionally, investing in
environmental infrastructures and services can
help mitigate the negative impacts of tourism on
