ABSTRACT
Ecotourism has the potential to play a significant role in the unorganized
sector, particularly for individuals. This industry was deemed environmentally
friendly tourism since it is so inextricably related to the human psyche that
humanity could not exist without it.
The researchers used a descriptive method of research. On sampling
method, the researchers used purposive sampling. One-way ANOVA and t-test
were also used to determine the null hypothesis of ecological tourism during the
new normal in Antipolo City.
Majority of the respondents belong to the age bracket 18 - 25 years old;
most of them are female, single and commonly visited Cita Verde. While on the
perception of the respondents they agreed on ecological tourism during the new
normal in Antipolo City with respect to carrying capacity, protection and
management, local benefits and sustainable tourism.
Generally, the assessment of the respondents reveals that there is no
significant difference in the perception of the respondents on ecological tourism
during the new normal in Antipolo City in terms of age, sex and civil status. While
visiting ecotourism spots has significant differences. .
The researchers recommended that ecological tourist spots should
enhance the marketing strategies like other social media sites for awareness and
encouragement on conservation and promotion of these ecological sites and
develop infrastructure that can help in the conservation of natural, cultural and
built resources.
