Chapter One
1.1 The Overview of the Study
The Philippine Islands are only recently being discovered as one of the perfect holiday getaways the
world has to offer – Providing high standards and excellent services. This archipelago of more than 7000 islands
has managed to stay under the world's radar as a travel destination – until recently. It offers what only few other
places in the world can offer: pristine, untouched beauty, and an escape from the chaos of the over-visited classic
vacation destinations.
A large portion of the Philippine islands remain untouched by human development, and herein lies the
powerful appeal in them. Some islands have vast tourist arrival but it is underdeveloped, or it is untouched by
the improvement tourism sectors have to do. Islands that have a powerful appeal and can be a good destination
for tourists. But it needs a good project to offer facilities, and accomodation that can satisfy and complete the
travel of the tourist. Last time, as we observe many people complain that it has no facilities, accomodation and
proper development that has been on the island. It is something that can't complete the journey which is intended
for relaxation.
Specifically, the Cabugao Gamay Island in Carles, Iloilo has what it takes to be a future destination that
can notch a top tourist attraction with its floating villas that surround the island. A cluster of islands boasting
infinite turquoise seas, cloudless skies, powdery white sands, crystal clear lagoons, virtually no phone signal, and
barely any other humans around. It’s the paradisiacal stuff of Photoshopped postcards.
With this, the destination itself offers a peaceful and serene waters that can calm and relax your mind
partnered by breathtaking horizons. Overwater Bungalows feature Cabugao Gamay Island design, with cool
hardwood floors, colourful indigenous fabrics and a traditional thatched roof. Wake up to views of the sparkling
lagoon from your overwater bungalow on the island. Spend blissful days lazing on your outdoor daybed, or dive
into the waters directly below, a natural coral bed home to brilliant schools of fish. A perfect site for floating
villas that can offer luxury amenities and facilities with excellent tourism services. A new floating villa that can
raise the name of panay as one of the top tourist destinations both local and international tourism.

1.2 Objectives of the Study
1. To identify the development that should be made in Cabugao Gamay Island, Carles, Iloilo,
Philippines.
2. To provide an establishment that can offer good facilities, activities and quality services with
unique accommodation that can cater the needs of the tourist.
1.3 Significance of the Study
The findings of this study will redound to the benefit of local tourism in Carles, Iloilo, Philippines
considering that attractions and destination plays a vital role in improving the field of tourism. Specifically this
research is significant to the following:
Locals of Carles – This will help them to create an opportunity for employment, making more revenues
and economic growth within the community. It will also safeguard and preserve islands that are part of the
municipality in which tourism revenue will be alloted for more improvement and restoration.
Municipality of Carles – This will help them create more infrastructures and projects with the help of the
tourism revenues and taxes. It will also enliven the economic growth which can open for new opportunities and
proposals.
Regional Tourism Department – This will help them determine the strengths and weaknesses of local
destinations in the region, which can help boost and uplift the tourism both local and international.
1.4 Scope and Limitation
This proposal was focused on the creation and improvement of the Cabugao Gamay Island, with its
Floating Villas as an attraction and making the island as one of the tourist destinations that offers unique setting
and excellent services. This resort does not only focus on giving tourist accomodation but also providing day
services that can provide them leisure activities and enjoyment. Also the operation of the resort will be 7 days a
week in season. With the establishment strongly constructed that can assure the safety of every guest. Added to
this, the establishment will have all necessary licenses and permits.

The proposal has one main point and that is to deeply understand the importance of creating and
proposing new attractions in a specific destination and to further explain its importance of making improvements
without exploiting the resources. The establishment will apply an integrated energy system, through solar panels.
The researchers of the project strongly believe that The Floating Villas in Cabugao Gamay Island is the
key to boost the tourism in the place. By making it a destination with quality, robust and excellent services.
1.5 Definition of Terms
The key terms in the study are given the following constitutive definition.
Amenities - means accommodation, catering facilities, retailing and other tourism related services:
something that helps to provide comfort, convenience, or enjoyment to the resort with modern amenities
providing residents with the basic amenities
Exploiting -exploit commonly means to selfishly take advantage of someone in order to profit from
them or otherwise benefit oneself. As a noun, exploit means a notable or heroic accomplishment.
Pristine- in its original condition; unspoiled. clean and fresh as if new; spotless.
Villa – A villa can mean many things. During the Roman Empire, a villa was an elegant and spacious
vacation home that was used by wealthy Romans to escape the bustling city and used for relaxation. Today, a
villa can still be considered a luxurious and upscale vacation home, depending on the location.
Revenues - income, especially when of a company or organization and of a substantial nature. A state's
annual income from which public expenses are met.
Proposal - A proposal is a way to pitch an idea and state your requirements, so it’s important for
supervisors because they can get information in writing (not casually in the elevator), and be able to act knowing
the full implications of their decision.
Destination – A destination is a geographical area consisting of all the services and infrastructure
necessary for the stay of a specific tourist or tourism segment. Destinations are the competitive units of incoming
tourism. Destinations are therefore an important part of a tourism product.
Tourism Development Plan – A system of planning that is created to identify the development that will
be done on the place or site.

Tourist Development – Refer to the growth and maintenance of the tourism industry in a given locality.
Creating Strategies and plans to increase, develop, encourage tourism for the specific destination.
1.6 Conceptual Framework
This framework provides the relevant variables in the study and how it is dependent on every variable
being considered. For the gathering of data, the researchers use interviews, surveys and observation as primary
data. The secondary data that will be used comes from Case Studies. Thus, the objectives will be the prime
purpose to create the goal of the studied proposal.

Chapter Two
2.1 The Review of Related Literatures of the Study
This part consists of related studies that in relation to the Project Proposal that can help support major
breakthroughs to the study. It contains relevant information that the researchers considered while proposing a
project. Specifically, those that were included in this part helps in the familiarization of the information that are
relevant and similar to the present study.
Local Studies
The Philippines being part of the Coral Triangle (referring to a roughly triangular area of the tropical
marine waters, including that of Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Island and Timor Leste),
Cabugao Gamay Island is home to some of the most biologically diverse and richest coastal and marine
resources, according to the Foundation for the Philippine Environment (FPE).
A second-class municipality with one of the highest tourism opportunities in the Visayas. Carles, 18
kilometers from Panay Island in the Visayan Sea, is developing a plan to promote sustainable tourism on
Gigantes, which has 10 islands and islets.
Around 13,000 people live in four barangays on its two major islands—Asluman and Granada on
Gigante Norte, and Lantangan and Gabi on Gigante Sur. Legend has it that the islands were once inhabited by
giants, thus, the name Islas de Gigantes with its islet including Cabugao Gamay Island. Before that, Gigantes
were used to be called Sabuluag, or Salauag, the name of endemic tree species abundantly found on the
islands.(EPE, 2017) The
Island is home to some endemic species of frogs and geckos, which make the island unique, several endemic
bird species have been recorded on some of the islands. These include the Philippine coucal, Philippine hawk
owl, Philippine nightjar, Pygmy swiftlet, Philippine pygmy woodpecker, Philippine bulbul and the pygmy
flowerpecker.
Some of the islands in Gigantes are unique. Forests grow over basically limestone karsts with a number
of karst caves. Some say there are 50 caves on Gigantes Island and its islet ( one of which is in Cabugao Gamay
Island), but less than half have been identified and explored.(Status Assessment of the Population and Habitat)

Known for its island resorts, the northern part of the province registered the most number of tourists,
who visited the entire province during the first quarter of this year – with 5, 262 local and foreign visitors, which
contributed 38 percent to the 16, 998 total tourists traffic in the province, according to the data of the provincial
tourism office. A suggestion from the DOT regional office in Western Visayas for the voluntary and temporary
closure of establishments in Gigantes island, Carles, Iloilo to improve their facilities and be well-prepared to
accommodate local and foreign tourists.
Foreign Studies
i. Tourism has become one of the major forces for economic growth in many developing and developed
countries. Tourism contributes to economic growth through various channels including foreign currency
earnings, attracting international investment, increasing tax revenues and creating additional employment
opportunities (Alam, 2016). Thus, to develop tourism is good for the development of the economy, and to
advocate ecological civilization construction, sustainable and green development are the basic contents. And it is
also advocated in the industry of tourism. Since the 1980s, the people of great vision have come out with the
connotation and the features of sustainable tourism (Tang, 2013), and it gradually developed and also became the
focus of the research. Meanwhile, tourism destinations are the spatial carrier of tourism, and also its evaluation
and development have become the research hot spots.
The world tourism organization took tourism as the center, and started the studies of the tourism index
system around tourism activities and conducted experiments in some developed countries, meanwhile Eber
(1992) put forward the guiding principles for the sustainable development of tourism (Holden, 2003). After the
year of 2001, The researchers in British, Canada, Hungary constructed the indexes suitable for their own tourism
sustainable development based on local features (Chen, 2008).
According to UNWTO (2015), tourism has become one of the “key drivers for socio– economic
progress”. Its contribution for the growth of the national economy is significant as well as its contribution for the
global economy. Destination marketing is now acknowledged as a pillar of the future growth and sustainability
of tourism destinations in an increasingly globalised and competitive market.At a more holistic level, tourist
attractions play an increasingly vital role in triggering opportunities for regional employment and economic

growth (Lansangan, 2013)
Tourism is the world's largest industry, responsible for more than one in ten jobs globally. In many
developing and transition economies, tourism has emerged as the dominant tool for economic growth. There will
be 700 million international travellers by the year 2000 and one billion by 2010, according to the World Tourism
Organization. The industry is expected to generate over US$ 5 trillion in economic activity and 245 million
direct and indirect jobs worldwide by the year 2000.
ii. The overwater bungalow concept originated in Tahiti in the mid-’60s, when a group of American
expats bought and rebuilt a decrepit Raiatea hotel and creatively repositioned its lack of a beach as a boon, using
traditional Tahitian fishing huts as a model to construct stilted bungalows over the calm waters of the reef. The
overwater bungalow—of which there are now more than 7,000 worldwide—has since become a symbol of
extreme luxury, with price tags to match.

3.1 METHODOLOGY
This chapter includes the research methodology of the proposal. It is concerned with data presentation,
of the findings obtained through studying the proposed project. The findings are presented in a tabular form after
being analyzed, and carefully understood.
3.2 Research Design
The researchers will use descriptive research to gather data information that will exemplify the current
situation of Cabugao Gamay Island, Carles, Iloilo, Philippines.
This will also describe the state of the island that will be considered by the researchers. Also, the descriptive
study will provide answers on what the researchers need to know, that will be vital for the objectives and goal of
the proposal. With this, the data gathered will be used as the preferences of the study to implement solutions and
create development to the project
Data gathering will be vital, as it provides information to the researchers. And here, the researchers
conduct a survey with 50 respondents as they answer relevant questions that can direct the preferences of the
proposal. Also, Likert Scale will be the basis of the survey as it provides a concise response to the survey.
3.3 Sources of Data
In order to accomplish the desired goal, the researchers will gather all relevant information. This
information will come from the survey and observations. Data will be collected primarily by getting responses to
different respondents. The researchers also use observation by conducting online reading of related articles,
study and websites. Thus, to support the data secondary information will also be collected to provide factuality
and conciseness to the study.
3.4 Data Analysis
Thorough analysis of the data and information that has been gathered is conducted. It is widely accepted
and the most frequently employed technique for data analysis in research methodology. It can be used to analyze

the documented information from text, images, and sometimes from the physical items. It depends on the
research questions to predict when and where to use this method.
“Analysis of data is as important as any other component of the research process” says Guy (1976). To
provide interpretable results, the data gathered must be organized and examined carefully. The planning of the
research must include definite direction for the treatment of the data, since much of the success of data analysis
tests on the ability in the choice of appropriate method for the analysis.
3.5 Ethical Considerations
It is important the identity of participants is kept confidential or anonymous and the assurances extend
beyond protecting their names to also include the avoidance of using self-identifying statements and information.
Anonymity and confidentiality is an important step in protecting the participants from potential harm. Thus,
participants in the proposal are free to withdraw and information stated was given voluntarily. No harm or threat
was in the atmosphere during the process of the studied proposal.
3.6 Demographic Characteristic
The instrumentation of the proposal which is through survey was set in Carles, Iloilo, Philippines. Thus,

The Proposed Management Aspect

Introduction
Isla Gigantes and Cabugao Island as one of its islets is just one of the many underrated but sublime
paradise in the Philippines, from islands to islands there is no shortage of the warm beach sand, relaxing ocean
water, delicious native dishes, and unique local charms in Isla Cabugao Gamay here in Carles, Iloilo. Islas
Cabugao Gamay is every traveler’s dream. The perfect turquoise waters, fine white sand, and the endless rock
formations have attracted tourists within the region and some from the other parts of the country. These subtle
tourism activities that took place in the island for these past few years have become a blessing for the local
community in the island and to its neighbors. Even on its own, the island has provided several local inhabitants a
job, livelihood, and means of leaving, but with the rise of these floating villas inspired from the floating ones
found in Maldives, more people would be offered job opportunities and could be a head start for a large-scale
economy to start.
This proposal would require for professionals in the higher management and positions, graduates of
either business, hospitality, or tourism would be needed as they were the most qualified and fitting personnel for
the job given their educational background and training. Their existence and proficiency in the future
management would be vital and pivotal to the overall success of the floating villa business. The locals would
also be needed in the function of the floating villas, as they were the ones who truly knew the island from waters
to land. The roles that this management will fulfill in the future operations will lead to the attainment of the goals
and objectives of the business.

The Proposed Marketing Aspect
Introduction

The islands and islets of Carles in Iloilo makes for a great getaway from the busy life we have in cities,
urbans, and suburban areas. The beaches and other water features within the patches of islands are far more
secluded and pristine compared to other famous and overrated beaches in the country. The distinctiveness and
uniqueness of these islands are enough reason to initiate a tourism development in the area. A resort with twenty
floating villas will soon rise in the waters of this island, the resort will go by the name SOBRE EL AGUA
PARADISE. To make SOBRE EL AGUA PARADISE resort known to the public, a series of promotional
activities and marketing campaigns will be pushed through, streamers and banners will be produced and will be
stationed all over town and in the neighboring cities and provinces, they contain information about the resort and
ways on how to contact for queries. For more physical advertising, flyers and business cards will be distributed
to populated areas such as town squares or plazas, stores, markets, and even outside schools and working
establishments, this is to make people aware of the floating resort. The social media will also serve as a
promotional platform for the resort, IT software and technological advances will be used to put up a page for the
resort and ads for promoting the business. A combination of different advertising strategies will be done to
promote and market SOBRE EL AGUA PARADISE to people, soon hoards of tourists will come visit the resort
for the promised experience.

SOBRE EL AGUA PARADISE resort is planned to be built and developed in one of the islands of
Carles, in the province of Iloilo. To be specific, Cabugao Gamay Island is where the resort would rise. The
unique structure of this compacted island is perfect for the concept of a floating villas resort, the shallow waters
near the shore will soon shelter the floating rooms where tourists would stay, it will provide the tourists with a
room that’s complete with their most basic necessities, like the bed, restrooms, and such. These floating villas
will be a tourist haven above the sea waters of Carles, the Cabugao Gamay Island will transform from a
relatively small island, into a paradise that would cater tourists from all over the country, and even tourists from
all over the world.

people with interests in water activities, retired individuals, and basically anyone who has the ability to purchase
and acquire our products, anyone with disposable income and who’s willing to pay for the experience.

everything that is in it, the rooms, our services, the amenities, the food that we will offer to the guests, the

This is where tourists would personally and privately hang out while enjoying the warm sun and the relaxing
ocean; they could also have the option to dine in this balcony instead of eating in the restaurant located in the
main island. A series of activities are also available here in the resort, snorkeling, beach volleyball, island
hopping and more that could be enjoyed by the tourist anytime.
