    Background of the Study

    Philippines have always been considered by most to be a potential and an actual

    tourist destination. Recent years have indeed shown that there was an increase of

    foreign and local tourist visiting many of what can be considered as tourist spots. The

    government through its Department of Tourism arm has been aggressive in its

    campaign in luring and encouraging tourist to visit not only the well known Philippine

    landmarks but also of the newly discovered wonders of the country. The increase in the

    growth of enrollees among students taking Tourism and Hotel and Restaurant

    Management is one of the evidence that indeed tourism is on the rise. The demand of

    workers inworkers in the tourism industry is growing.

    The Department of Tourism(COT) in its Tourism Investment Portfolio has stated

    that the tourism industry is recognized by the government because of its contribution to

    foreign exchange earnings, investments, revenue and growth of output.In fact

    according to the portfolio, tourism is considered as one of the major pillar in the

    Medium Term Philippines Development Plan (MTPDP). Apparently, it was given

    priority to promote the Philippines as a premier tourist destination and investment site.

    Furthermore, the portfolio has also stated that if sustained tourism can actually be a

    powerful economic growth engine in the country. The following reasons has been cited

    as the reason for giving tourism a priority status;

    a. It is a powerful and efficient industry;

    b. Its impact on social development are broad and deep;

    c. It creates strong peripheral benefits;

    d. The Philippines can compete and win; and

    e. It helps maintains cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological

    diversity and life support systems.

    Tourism is of course understandable in todays fast-paced stressful world. In as

    much that it is human nature to gravitate towards relaxation not only of the mind but of

    the body as well, tourism therefore provides one of the avenue to which humans can

    achieve that craving.

    The tourism industries in the Philippines however have faced major setbacks.

    According to the Investment Portfolio of the Department of Tourism, there was a decline

    of tourists arrival from 2000 to 2003, however, it bounced back in 2004. According to the

    Portfolio the industrys resilience was demonstrated through debilitating internal and

    external pressures as it achieved 2.3M international visitors, a 21.9% leap from 1.9M in

    2003. This record breaking ascent propelled the industry to a stable growth momentum

    in 2005, generating 2.6M tourists, a 14.5% increase from 2004 and yielded receipts of

    US$2.19B, a 6.36% increase over the previous year. The industry continued its growth

    in 2006, attracting 2.8M tourists, 8.5% higher than the previous year. For January to

    June 2007, visitor arrivals to the Philippines increased by 7.6% compared to the same

    period last year, drawing 1.5 million visitors.

    The Philippine Tourism Master Plan outlines policies, which the DOT believes

    advance the cause of sustainable tourism development:

    a. Promoting sustainable tourism products by developing a spread of

    differentiated tourism clusters, which are each supported by an

    international gateway, support amenities and services; developing a

    spread of complementary tourism products in each of the clusters, and

    diversifying the market mix by aiming to strike a balance between

    domestic and international tourism

    b. Maximizing the use of local products

    c. Maximizing local ownership, livelihood opportunities, individual

    initiative and self-reliance

    d. Encouraging domestic tourism as a means to improve the peoples

    quality of life, conserve and promote national heritage, and heighten

    their sense of national identity and unity

    e. Promotion of environmental conservation by adhering to development

    guidelines and carrying capacities of the locale where tourism

    development would take place, and adopting an integrated approach in

    planning, taking into consideration the countrys natural, historic and

    architectural heritage; and supporting the conservation movement

    a. Establishment of a tourism industry training board, training centers

    per cluster or region, and standards for tourism professional, and

    tourism educators.

    The implication to all theses situation is of thecourse the effect of tourism to the

    people and culture of the people living in or near the tourist determined area. Once

    could only surmise the influence tourism brings..

    According to Menon (1993) tourism is influenced and influences the following

    forces; a) society with its values or the socio-cultural sub-system; b) the economy and

    its structure or the economic sub-system ;c) the environment and its resources or the

    ecological sub-system ;and d) the State and its policies or the political sub-system.

    Citing Chopra (1991), Menon (1993) added that there are three major agents of

    change that are frequently in relation to tourism; The following table presents these

    forces and their effects to the culture of the affected community. As the table shows

    tourism definitely changes the culture of the people in the community wherecommunity

    where the area of interests is located.

    Table 1. Three major agents of Change in Tourism (Chopra 1991; Menon, 1993)

    Forces of Change Items of Culture Affected

    A. Physical presence of tourists Language, gastronomy, dress, leisure (interculturalinteraction) utilization, orientation to self, work andlife; attitudinal changes towards traditional artforms, and participation in traditional ceremonialfestivals and dance forms.

    B. Changes introduced by neweconomic activities

    Changes m the pace and rhythm of life; alteredforms of social and familial interaction.

    C. Changes in the physical environment Value changes resulting from modem urban

    urbanization; altered forms of social interaction.

    Tourism also benefits the community where the tourist destination is located.

    Tourists bring with them not only their expectations but the eagerness to spend in the

    services and goods provided by the community.

    While at face value, tourism may be beneficial to the community, the downside of

    Tourism may be underestimated. This is specially so if the tourist destination is a

    natural wonder or a cultural wonder, where damage can be irreversible. As Arronsson

    (2000) has stated; Tourism development shall be based on criteria of sustainability, Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial, 12

    which means that it must be ecologically bearable in the long term, economically viable,

    as well as ethically and socially equitable for the local communities.

    Students being in the position of the future caretaker of these areas of interests

    are in the position that these natural and manmade wonders stay unharmed and in

    pristine condition. This however can be achieved if the students understand the

    importance of these heritages to their identities.

    It is therefore imperative that the perception of the students of view of the

    influence of tourism to their locality be ascertained, thus the study.

    Conceptual Framework

    The studyThis study examines students perception on the effect of tourism to their locality.

    The tourist destination listed by the students will be satisfaction with the collaborativewriting process and thewriting product generated by student groups before and after EQ training. Ourhypothesis is thatstudent awareness of EQ strategies (developing sensitivity to non-verbal messages,defining andunderstanding the skills used in articulating an emotional vocabulary in themselves and

    others,and applying these skills for the purpose of managing business scenarios moreeffectively)enhances their communication behavior in work groups and improves the quality ofresponse tovarious business writing scenarios.

    Objectives of the Study

    1. To identify the tourist destination of the students respective locality as to the ff

    The Positive Effect of Tourism to Culture

    In 1993, a case study on the effects of tourism on culture and the environment

    was conducted by Menon for UNESCO. Tourism according to the study is supposed to

    bring about the ff;

    a. Socio-economic development of the areas

    b. Increase employment opportunities

    c. Develop domestic tourism specially for the budget

    category

    d. Preservation of national heritage and environment

    e. Development of international tourism and optimization of

    foreign exchange earnings

    f. Diversification of tourism products

    Menon(1993) summarized that basically, the importance of tourism is seen

    primarily from the economic angle, the earnings much needed foreign exchange and

    providing employment.

    Unesco in 2008 conducted a study entitled: The Effects of Tourism on Culture

    and the Environment in Asia and the Pacific: Sustainable Tourism and the Preservation

    of the World Heritage Site of the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippines. In its introduction,

  • 7/28/2019 The Effect of Tourism to the Life and Culture to the Life and Culture of the Community

    9/21

    it has reiterated that, Tourism is one of the worlds income generating industries

    specially so if it is properly managed. The study stated that tourism offers economic

    benefits to the communities living near the sites if\n terms of the ff;

    g.a. Employment opportunities

    h.b. Revitalization of traditional crafts and cultural

    practices

    i.c. Opportunities for the inhabitants to express pride in their

    culture.

    II. The paper also did mention thatAccording to Unesco (2008), tourism can

    be an effective means by which culture and environment can be conserve (UNESCO,

    2008). This in the sense that tourism which now one of the worlds most profitable and

    fastest growing industries.

    It offers unlimited economic benefits to communities living in or near

    heritage sites in terms of employment opportunities, revitalization of traditional crafts

    and cultural practices and opportunities for the inhabitants to express pride in their

    culture.

    Furthermore, the paper also highlighted other positive social impacts of

    tourism. These includes the following;

    a. Cultural practices, skills and knowledge are transferred to younger

    generations.

    b. Cultural revival in the community

    argued that for the case of Fiji, an island in the Pacific, tourism actually contributed to

    the preservation of culture. Citing an example of the many historical and archeological

    sties that have vanished due to agriculture or housing developments, he mentioned that

    because of tourism that many are preserved. In his argument, he implied that without

    tourism, this cultural heritage in Fiji would have been lost also to development.

    Furtthermore, another way by which tourisms preserves culture is on the part of the

    tourists themselves. He mentioned that todays tourists have changed. According to

    Tuinabua, Todays tourists want to see and get to know the country in which they are

    holidaying. They want to meet the people, eat what they eat, experience how they live,

    and get to know their culture. Following this line of thinking, culture is preserved in the

    sense that the people in the area only do provide what the tourists would want to

    experience, these are the traditional food and lifestyle. It is actually the preservation of

    the regions culture means the maintenance of our unique selling points in the tourism

    industry.

    A dissertation entitled The effects of tourism impacts upon Quality of Life of

    residents in the community was conducted by Kim in 2002. The said study

    investigates how tourism affects the quality of life (QOL) of residents in tourism

    destinations that vary in the stage of development. Similarly with this present study, the

    dissertation by Kim looks into the perception of the residents in the community where

    the tourist destination is located. The results revealed that the residents perception of

    tourism impacts did affect their satisfaction with particular life domains significantly, and

    their satisfaction with particular life domains influenced their overall life satisfaction. .

    The results indicated that the relationship between the economic impact of tourism and

    the satisfaction with material well-being, and the relationship between the social impact

    of tourism and the satisfaction with community well-being were strongest among

    residents in communities characterized to be in the maturity stage of tourism

    development. This finding is consistent with social disruption theory which postulates

    that boomtown communities initially enter into a period of generalized crisis, resulting

    from the traditional stress of sudden, dramatic increases in demand for public services

    and improving community infrastructure. Additionally, residents develop

    adaptive behaviors that reduce their individual exposure to stressful situations. Further,

    the relationship between the cultural impact of tourism and the satisfaction with

    emotional well-being, and the relationship between the environmental impact of tourism

    and the satisfaction with health and safety well-being were strongest in the decline

    stage of tourism development. It has been well established that residents in certain

    types of tourism communities might perceive a certain type of tourism impact

    unacceptable, while in other communities, the same impact type may be more

    acceptable.

    The Negative Effect of Tourism to Culture

    In the same study conducted by Menon (1993), he mentioned that tourism does

    not only bring economic benefits to the community. For Menon tourism also brings

    about the ff;

    a. Complex changes in the community than other economic development projects,

    because it necessarily juxtaposes people of different cultures and economic

    attributes.

    b. The changes imposed by tourism will be more massive because it is one of the

    fastest growing segments of the Indian economy. The economic dominance is

    dangerous, as seen in other tourism dominated economies.

    c. Tourism reinforces cultural stereotypes and social structures: while some social

    mobility is observed in host societies, it generally occurs amongst the lower

    strata of society, and even then, it is revealing that few want their children to

    follow their professions.

    Furthermore, in an internet article Negative Social aspects of Tourism ( http://

    www. ecoholidaying.co.uk/NegativeEffectsTourismSocialAspects.downloaded May 8,

    2010) listed the following negative effects of tourism;

    a. Tourism may bring about the collapse of traditional lifestyles, values and

    moralities by contact with travelers from different lands;

    b. crime Crime increases dramatically during the tourist season,

    c. tThe price of many staple foods and other essential items can be hiked up

    considerably to maximisemaximize the catch of tourist moneydollars, but this

    artificial inflation can often catch local people too who often can least afford it

    c. UNESCO (2008) also have stated that

    heritage resources, the very resources on which tourism tourism is based. The

    paper by UNESCO highlighted d.

    Tourism can undoubtedly bring benefits to an area protecting pristine habitats and conserving

    cultures and wildlife in some of the worlds poorest countries and revitalising regions within developed

    nations where traditional industries have declined, but it often comes at a cost. This effect is, of course,

    most keenly felt in the developing world where the stark juxtaposition of affluent consumerism with

    subsistence lifestyles jars most noticeably. As a holiday-maker it is impossible to avoid the simple truth

    that the loose change lying forgotten in your bag would feed many of the local people for the best part

    of a week. If you notice their poverty, how can they fail to notice your wealth? The more well-attuned

    your social awareness, the more difficult it is to ignore that tourism is essentially rooted in this

    inequality. However, there are more problems than simply forcing people to come face to face with that

    particular reality.

    According to Unesco (2008), tourism can be an effective means by which

    culture and environment can be conserve. This in the sense that tourism

    which now one of the worlds most profitable and fastest growing industries.

    It offers unlimited economic benefits to communities living in or near

    heritage sites in terms of employment opportunities, revitalization of

    traditional crafts and cultural practices and opportunities for the inhabitants to

    express pride in theirculture. However, uncontrolled tourism can also cause

    irreversible damage to the physical and intangible heritage resources, the very

    resources on which tourism is based.

    This publication focuses on the impact oftourism tourismon the rice terraces of the

    Philippine Cordilleras. Seemingly, the Banaue Rice Terraces was considered , an

    outstanding model of sustainable use of limited land resources using traditional

    knowledge-based technology that has evolved over the last two millennia . In 1995, the

    site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in recognition of the organically-evolved

    cultural landscape that has been shaped by sacred traditions and the ingenuity of the

    Ifugao people who have transformed the difficult terrain of the Cordillera Mountains.

    Their religious beliefs, customary laws and traditional practices are embodied in the

    Hudhud Chants of the Ifugao People which were later recognized in 2001 by UNESCO

    as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. (UNESCO, 2008)

    The paper also did list the specific effects of tourism to several aspects of the

    community. These are;

    1. Impacts on the Physical Environment:

    1.1. The degradation of the watersheds that supply water to the rice fields because

    of the high demand for food carvings.

    1.2. Due to lesser supply of water, erosion has resulted to rice fields.

    1.3.Lack of zoning and construction policies resulted to erection of buildings not

    complementary to the unique beauty, style and grandeur of the tourism area.

    2. Socio-Cultural Impacts

    The paper did mention that one negative impact of tourism on the case of

    Ifugao is in the communities culture. Some of which includes

    2.1. Cultural performances are losing their authenticity because in catering to

    tourists demand sacred practices are performed with no appropriate occasions

    to justify their performances.

    2.2. The loss of valuable artifacts, ancestral heirlooms, and other movable tangible

    cultural heritage.

    2.3. The loss of cultural relevance of wood carvings that used to have cultural

    significance among local folk due to mass production

    2.4. Local folk feel an invasion of privacy particularly when tourists take their

    photograph without consent.

    Another study conducted by Reil Cruz in 2003, entitled Towards

    Sustainable Tourism Development in the Philippines and Other Asean Countries: An

    Examination of Programs and Practices of National Tourism Organization was

    submitted to the Philippine APEC Study Center Network (PASCN). Using

    documentary analysis or printed and online resources, the author looks into the

    ways by which National Tourists Organizations in the Asian region operate the

    principle of sustainability. In its introduction, it has mentioned that; poorly planned

    mass tourism in these countries has also led to environmental and cultural

    degradation . The author also provided examples of negative effect of tourism in

    and around Asian countries.

    a. Thailand and the Philippines came to be known as sex capitals.

    b. The spread of AIDS particularly in Thailand, has also been abetted by

    tourism.

    c. Local residents have complained of loss of access to beaches and

    dislocation from areas of economic activity.

    d. The once pristine beaches of Boracay and Phuket now suffer from

    congestion, pollution and beach erosion.

    e. Singapore has lost much of its Asian identity as high-rise hotels, giant

    malls and a futuristic airport were constructed to handle the influx of

    millions of tourists.

    Research Design and Methodology

    Using descriptive-qualitative method, this study aims to highlight the perspectives

    of the PCC studentsPCC students in the influence of tourism toin their respective

    localities.

    Locale and Respondents of the Study

    In an effort to draw the out the students perception on the effect of tourism on

    their locality, the investigator will delve into documentary analysis of the 13 submitted

    output of the students highlighting their insightstheir insights on the variables

    mentioned. These students were from Pines City Colleges who enrolled in Sociology-

    Anthropology from different classes and class semesters. As a requirement of the

    course, the investigator then their instructor obliged the students in submitting an

    ethnograph/fact sheet of their own localities. The box below was a copy of the

    instruction provided by the instructor that was used by the students as a guide in their

    field studies.
