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

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,

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

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.

following specific objective of the study:
1. To identify the tourist destination of the students respective locality.
2. To determine whether tourism benefited the people and culture of
their locality
Profile of the Tourist Destination of the Respondents Locality
