The company
owns a self-proclaimed resort here in Puerto Princesa City. I remember, it was a lovely summer
day we had a couple of guests at that time. Everyone was busy attending to our guests and, to our
surprise, we ran out of water supply. We panicked because even our water tanks are emptied,
there we blurted out "We have a water crisis". It was embarrassing because we can't do anything
about it and the guests were furious about it. We called our local water supply Water District and
complained of the water issue, and their only solution at that time was to wait for the water truck.
Guess what time it arrived? Midnight! it was not the first time it happened it went go for a long
time. So I say that the very reason why we came up with this research is through "shared-
experienced".
As an experienced traveler, water plays an important role when traveling. It is essential in every
aspect of a human being to use water.
From drinking, bathing, washing, and cooking food. Water is present almost everywhere.
According to 2nd world water forum. "Water is everybody's business"
And it is our business to understand about water crisis and how to manage it, and that is why we
came up with our research on “Water Crisis Management of Accommodations in Puerto Princesa
City, Palawan”
CHAPTER I

needs. It is a crisis of managing water so badly that billions of people - and the environment
- suffer badly." World water vision report.
"Water is everybody's business" was one the key messages of the 2nd world water forum.
Whatever the use of freshwater (agriculture, industry, domestic use), huge saving of water
and improving of water management is possible.
Water crisis
While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water
resources has grown six-fold. Within the next fifty years, the world population will increase
by another 40 to 50 %. this population growth - coupled with industrialization and
urbanization - will result in an increasing demand for water and will have serious
consequences on the environment. (World water council, 2020).
The TOURISM INDUSTRY area is a significant procurer of water, particularly well-known
traveler oppositions, placing additional weight on water assets in areas previously
experiencing some type of water crisis. The partners in the tourism industry are
unconscious of the fact that it is so essential to moderate the usage of water.
Puerto Princesa City, Palawan is one of the most visited places in the Philippines.
As NEW DEVELOPMENTS come in like INFRASTRACTURES it means more water supply will
be needed for numerous services.
The Puerto Princesa City Water District (PPCWD) has authoritatively positioned the city
submerged crisis alert level 3 because of a notable decrease in the water supply (Ganacial,
2019).
This research aims to examine the USAGE of water in the tourism industry area to feature
how significant the issue of water crisis is to its extent.

QUALITY WATER.

water quality impedance with of course social, monetary, and natural implications.

standard 1-2hour water interference, it went as long as a day or most exceedingly terrible
few days of not having an inventory of water. In recent years, the local area is confronting a
difficulty that has not been settled as of not long ago.

This research aims to examine the utilization of water in the tourism industry area to feature
how significant the issue of water crisis is to its extent. Emphasize on the awareness that it is
essential to "Moderate Water Usage" to eliminate water crisis.
Theoretical Framework:
"Tourism Industry is a significant water source in specific places and adds to water crisis and water
quality impedance with of course social, monetary, and natural implications.
The cycle expands its discourse between the tourism industry area, crisis and board associations.
Partner- driven in coordination within the traditional design "Tourism Umbrella/stakeholders".
The effort of coordination and communication helps to distinguish measures, proper evaluations
and to upgrade the community imperativeness through an improved versatile systems. Again, the
tourism industry (the cycle as shown) and water crisis management are caught together with
commitment measure. This data is joined with deliberately gathered water crisis information to

management, emergency management, and the tourism industry as per the commitment of
partners establish reliable and dynamic community will be seen.

kinds of the tourism industry and entertainment, just as their irregularity and conditions on water
usage.

do we need to worry,and what do they care about, and what are their interests to come up with
