CASE STUDY A
INTRODUCTION TO ECO-
TOURISM
ECOTOURISM IN THE PHILIPPINES
As an archipelago composed of 7,107 islands, the Philippines offer countless
attractions to see.
Tourism is a major contributor to the economy of the Philippines contributing to
6.0 percent to the gross domestic product (GDP) as of 2012 based on
National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB).
The NSCB was able to collect the GDP of the Philippines starting from the
year 2000 until 2012.
THE 2009 SURVEY OF TOURISM ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE PHILIPPINES
(STEP) FOR TRANSPORT OPERATORS, TOUR AND TRAVEL AGENCIES

tourists are demanding quality service from the places where they stay
in because for them it is their only time to relax and enjoy the ambiance
of the place where they are staying in.

providing quality service to the tourists/guests will enhance and

promote tourism in the area. It will attract more tourists which will be
advantageous to the attraction site.
OBJECTIVES OF THE ORDER MADE BY THE DENR WERE
ALIGNED TO A BIGGER GOAL WITH THE CONCEPTS OF
ECOTOURISM...
Concepts and Principles are as follows:
1.) Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
2.) Ownership by the local communities providing them business opportunities to
sustain their well being.
3.) Gender responsiveness and adherence to inclusive growth that considers
women, children, indigenous peoples and informal sector activities.
4.) Promotion of learning experience and conservation awareness.
5.) Responsible action on the part of tourists and the tourism industry.
6.) Deliver to appropriate number of participants and businesses that observe and
follow ecotourism and conservation concepts, ensuring appropriate development
and visitor control.
TOURISM AS AN ARCHIPELAGO...
TOURISM AS AN ARCHIPELAGO...
CASE STUDY: HISTORIC TOWN OF
VIGAN
BASELINE SITUATION
prior to its inscription to the World Heritage List (1999),
the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the site was in
serious danger.

Only four years before, in 1995, there was a legacy of

political instability. Economic business and industry is at
decline
WHAT DID THEY DO?
Local government and
stakeholders developed a
clear vision and action plan
based on their application for
World Heritage status and
conservation as a tool for
development. The plan had
four key objectives.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Strengthen the sense of identity and pride of the citizens
in their historic city – grow their confidence and
knowledge.

Embed the approach into long-term policy and

management of the city – so short-term political changes
do not disrupt the momentum.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

• Forge local and international linkages – learning from other historic

cities and securing support for progressive changes from the Spanish
government for the master planning process, as well as working with local
universities to tap into extra resources and research capacity.

• Develop Vigan as a tourism destination that enriches and conserves the

people’s core values and traditions
WHAT WORKED?
The city invested in a programme of research and education across
the city.
Residents and property owners were given conservation guidelines
There was a focus on community needs as a priority
A cultural mapping analysis study was carried out with the
University of Santo Thomas
WHAT WAS TOUGH?
Measures to protect the historic quarter were not
always popular with the property owners of residents

A Conservation Council was created to streamline

building permits in the historic district – restrictions of
how people manage/use properties were initially
unpopular.
 HOW DID THEY GET BUY-IN?
It was key to focus on the things people needed most as
priorities – better roads, clean water, waste systems,
business opportunities, and better education.
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
Vigan is now a bustling city with a growing economy.
Visitor numbers have climbed from 76,000 in 2009 to 335,000 in
2012.
The poverty rate has fallen from 45.5% in 1995 to 9% in 2013.
The city finances have recovered and now stand at 292 million Pesos
(up from 27 million in 1995).
Health and education rates have improved markedly.
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
Conservation challenges remain as a changing and economically
thriving city creates tensions about the uses of old properties and
spaces – some properties remain in a state of disrepair and
increase in traffic creates problems.
Vigan campaigned for and was reinstated as a city in 2001.
It was also recognized by UNESCO for Best Practice in World
Heritage site management in 2012.
Conclusion...
Vigan has been transformed through a process of understanding its heritage tourism
potential, developing an action plan, and by the delivery of that action plan through
good governance that has delivered on people’s everyday needs and aspirations, while
also taking seriously the need for robust conservation of the historic fabric.
