THE PROBLEM AND IT¶S BACKGROUND

Introduction

Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The

World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in

places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and

not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not

related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited".

Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2008, there were over

922 million international tourist arrivals, with a growth of 1.9% as compared to

2007. International tourism receipts grew to US$944 billion (euro 642 billion) in

2008, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 1.8%.

As a result of the Late-2000s recession, international travel demand

suffered a strong slowdown beginning in June 2008, with growth in international

tourism arrivals worldwide falling to 2% during the boreal summer months, and

this negative trend intensified as international tourist arrivals fell by 8% during the
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

first four months of 2009.Thereafter this declining trend was exacerbated in some

regions due to the outbreak of the influenza AH1N1 virus.

Tourism is vital for many countries, such as Egypt, Greece and Thailand,

and many island nations, such as The Bahamas, Fiji, maldives and the

Seychelles, due to the large intake of money for businesses with their goods and

services and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated

with tourism. These service industries include transportation services, such as

airlines, cruise ships and taxis, hospitality services, such as accommodations,

including hotels and resorts, and entertainment venues, such as amusement

parks, casinos, shopping malls, various music venues and the theatre.

Tourism is travel for predominantly recreational or leisure purposes or the

provision of services to support this leisure travel. The World Tourism

Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside

their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure,

business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity

remunerated from within the place visited". Tourism has become a popular global

leisure activity. In 2004, there were over 763 million international tourist arrivals.

Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated by the

consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses in


ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

the tourism industry, and the opportunity for employment in the service industries

associated with tourism. These service industries include transportation services

such as cruise ships and taxis, accommodation such as hotels, restaurants, bars,

and entertainment venues, and other hospitality industry services such as spas

and resorts.

Review of Related Literature

This section presents a brief survey of research studies related to the

approaches used to view our tourism industry.

San Juan Background

San Juan is a 1st class municipality in the province of Batangas,

Philippines. It occupies the easternmost portion of the province, 43 kilometers

east of Batangas City, also the same distance southwest of Lucena City,

Quezon, and 115 kilometers away from manila. According to the latest census, it

has a population of 87,276 people in 16,519 households. (2010[online]

Laiya Beach San Juan

At the southeastern tip of Batangas lies a seven kilometer strip of white

sand beach situated along the stretching coast of Sigayan Bay and Verde Island

passage. The place is nestled behind the peaks of mt. Daguldol and home to

several hiking destinations, such as Naambon falls and mainit Pulang Bato.

Because of its proximity to cities of manila, Batangas and Quezon, this beach

called Laiya became a popular destination for weekend retreats and corporate

excursions.
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Numerous resorts from upscale to budget accomodation which are mainly

known to local tourists are visibly located along the wide strip of Laiya beach.

They all come to life during holidays and weekends when tourists from the wide

metropolis come to reatreat from their frenzied daily life. It does not take away its

appeal, but, for people who may want to witness this hidden beauty must visit

Laiya during low season, when the beach is calmer and much more silent. And

on peak season (December to June), it is highly advised to call for accomodation

few weeks in advance to avoid losing chances on room reservations

Aside from swimming, snorkeling, boating, and kayaking, not much water

activities are available in Laiya. Diving and other hi-tech water activities are not

yet facilitated unless interested tourists request to be chartered to Anilao, a diving

sanctuary at the other side of the coast, or to the famous diving destination-

Verde Island. Although Laiya¶s main attraction is its long strip of white beach,

other sportif options can be found in its interiors, such as its hidden coves, falls

and thick forested mountains where trails have been appreciated best for

mountainbiking and trekking.

If you come to stay for a few days, don¶t expect ³a la carte´ in your resort¶s

restaurant. Dining is mostly buffet. A few foreign dishes is served but the majority

of eating pleasure in most resorts is Filipino. Options such as bringing a picnic

basket and renting an open shed is enough for day trippers. Those who don¶t
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

have time to prepare, however, may avail some of the resorts¶ lunch packages

which are already inclusive of shed and entrance fee.

Exploring Laiya

To retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city and to enjoy the fresh breeze

and warm blue water of the sea, coming to Laiya is a perfect idea for weekend

retreats. The beach is wide, all covered with white sand, and the water is warm;

wonderful enough even for a short refreshing trip.

To get there, take South Luzon Tollway, and exit at Batangas Lucena exit.

Drive along the national road until you see a board ³Star Tollway´ turn right at

Star Tollway (Batangas Expressway) up to Lipa Exit.

Few meters from the Star Tollway exit, you will see De La Salle University

Lipa on the left side of the road. Several meters from De La Salle, watch out for

³Y´ junction (where mcDonalds is at the center). Take the road at the right that

heads to Lipa town proper. Then follow the road as it merges with another road

at the right (where monument is) and watch out for mercury Drug. Turn right at

this street then straightly take this road towards Rosario and Padre Garcia.

About 8.5km from Lipa, there will be a junction that leads to Padre Garcia.

From Padre Garcia, Turn left towards Rosario. From the town center of Rosario,

Turn left (where South Star Drug Store is) then follow this road until San Juan.

Once in san Juan, turn right at the street where municipal hall is (just across
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

basketall court), and upon entering the road, you will see billboards indicating

beach resorts of Laiya. Follow this road until you reach the unconcreted part.

This means you are in the vicinity. From this point and the succeeding distance,

you will see a lot of resort signboards along the road. All of them lead to resorts

along the beaches of Aplaya, Laiya, and Hugom.(2004-2009[online]
