Tourism

Sihite and Bahar (2000) defined that tourism was a journey that is done for a while, which was
held from one place to another, with a plan and with the intention to have fun or to make a visit as
well as to enjoy leisure activities. Thakur (2015), highlighted the importance of tourism comes from its
nature and how it is defined and structured. Tourism contributes towards complete growth and
development of a country. The first, by bringing numerous economic value and benefits; and, second,
helping in build country's brand value, image & identity. Tourism industry goes beyond attractive
destinations, to being an important economic growth contributor.
The tourism defined as a relaxing in one place that already planned with one or more group of

economic development in particular place. Business, tourism and marine food supply were the
proposes
 7

contributions with regard to the economic development of San Andres Quezon.

Marine food supply

Based on World Fish (2013), improving the productivity of fisheries and aquaculture is vital to
reducing hunger and poverty for millions in the developing world. Sustainable, productive fisheries and
aquaculture improve food and nutrition security, increase income and improve livelihoods, promote
economic growth and protect our environment and natural resources. While the Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (1997), highlighted the fish is a vital source of food for people. It
is man’s most important single source of high-quality protein, providing ∼16% of the animal protein
consumed by the

world’s population.

Marine food supply helps us with regard to the foods that essentials needs for every person’s
survival in a particular place. It provides nutrients that every person needs to become healthy. This
variable also has contributions in order to develop the economy of a particular place that the primary
occupation of every residents was coming out of the marine. The marine foods become a contribution
through the action that provides of a businessman on its particular place.

Allan (2004) defined the business as a set of activities undertaken to create a way to develop and
transform the power to goods and services that consumers
 8

want. Brown (2018), highlighted that the businesses contribute to local economies by bringing growth and
innovation to the community in which the business is established. Businesses also help stimulate
economic growth by providing employment opportunities to people who may not be employable by larger
corporations. It was tended to attract talent who invent new products or implement new solutions for
existing ideas.
In addition, business was important in everyone’s daily life to earn and to get good and services
every individual needs a business to get money to support their needs and wants, business was the
essential needs to everyone’s survival. Business gives a huge contribution on the economic development
of a particular place. It also trains the businessman/women on how to become a creative on thinking or
every planning for the sake of business.

review of the proclamation for purposes or revalidating its reestablishment or mortification as the case
maybe; inclusion in the priority listing of the IPAS; and classification under the NIPAS classification system
of Protected Areas. Pursuant thereto, Alibijaban Island was proposed for inclusions in the category of
Protected Seascape under R.A. 7586.
According to the record on MPDC in San Andres Municipal, Alibijaban island
 9

is considered as one of productive island easily accessible to the highly urbanized centers and nearby
provinces. Likewise, it was easily accessible to foreign and local tourists. Attraction in the island include
the diverse mangrove species, marine flora and fauna suitable for scuba diving, white beach for bathing
and swimming. Alibijaban island's proximity to urban and industrial centers and its rich and diverse
natural resources make it foremost ecological and environmental escape. Protected Areas and Wild Life

women in the area of Alibijaban island is 802 and the men is 826. Between Bisaya and Tagalog, Bisaya has
the high percentage which exceed at 90% while the Tagalog language only has 10%.

Theoretical Framework

Modernization Theory (MT) is one of the most popular developmental paradigms to have gained
admiration from the late 19th till the mid-20th century. This theory is thought to be an extension of
another theory called growth theory, which is grounded in Keynesian economics. For justification of MT,
the theorists used it as a key social indicator for economic development, which trickles down to the
grassroots level of society in the form of plentiful economic and employment prospects.
In addition, it means that Barangay Alibijaban has many tourist spots that
 1

they attracted. The island was considered as one of the smallest populations in San Andres, Quezon
because of its household number. The people who live in island has have two kinds of languages, which
are the Bisaya and Tagalog languages.
Globally, tourism gives huge contributions on the economic development of a particular place. It
provides many benefits for every resident that everyone allowed to obtain their wanted job when it
comes to the tourism.

100 = constant multiplier to changes the decimal into percentage value.

2. Weight arithmetic mean. This was used to measure the range by which the respondents assess
the given research variables.
WM = 4(F) + 3(F) + 2(F) +1(F)
N
Where: WM = weighted mean

F = number of answers

N = number of respondents
 1

The following scales were used on interpreting the computed weighted mean:

Point Range Description Code

4 3.25 – 4. 00 Strongly Agree SA
3 2.50 – 3.24 Agree A
2 1.75 – 2.49 Disagree D
1 1.00 – 1.74 Strongly Disagree SD
