CRISIS IN TOURISM

 The people who will earn a living with a

growth of tourism can then provide for the
basic daily needs of their respective
families like food, shelter and clothing.
 Security issues are of particular concern to
developing countries like the Philippines
which have identified tourism as a
desirable industry that can provide
widespread economic benefits, including
employment for the less educated.
 Thus this study will examine the nexus
of tourism, security and development
issues in the philippines to ascertain
how these factors interact and impact up
on Philippine tourism in terms of tourist
arrivals, choice of destinations, and
perception of the Philippines.
Tourism has a several claimed advantages.
 Firstly, it doe’s not necessarily require capital-
intensive nor intricate and complicated
technologies like other heavy industries in
which industrialized nations tend to be
dominant.
 Secondly, while it involves the construction of
basic infrastructure and utilization of different
modes of transportation, it is primarily natural
resource based and relies largely on human
support which is relatively abundant (Geoldner
and Brent Richie 2003)
Statement of the problem
 The Philippine tourism industry has
undergone several setbacks over the past two
decades due to security issues, Political
instability which led to popular action and
massive protests against the country’s
leadership send signals to the International
community that the country is unsafe to visit.
 This has affected tourist arrivals because a
good destination image and political stability
are “musts” for most tourist
