Coordination for sustainable tourism in the Philippines
The DOT has partnered with other concerned government agencies, most notably the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), to address the existing issues on tourism in order to promote a paradigm shift towards sustainability.
The three agencies and other concerned bodies plan to use Boracay as a benchmark for future rehabilitation initiatives in other popular destinations such as El Nido in Palawan, Panglao in Bohol, Manila Bay, and soon Siargao in Surigao del Norte. These are just some of the many plans that the DOT has in store in relation to the pursuit of sustainability.
