How does it compare with the tourism planning models you


learned in this chapter?

Overtourism and Visitor Management


Overtourism poses a significant challenge for Baguio, particularly during peak events such as the
Panagbenga Festival, resulting in overcrowded public areas and overwhelmed infrastructure. To
address these issues, the city is implementing visitor management strategies that encourage
exploration of alternative attractions and help distribute tourist traffic more evenly throughout the
year. This strategy seeks to improve the visitor experience while reducing the strain on residents and
local resources.

Environmental Sustainability
Baguio acknowledges the significance of environmental sustainability in its tourism planning. The
city’s distinctive ecological landscape necessitates careful oversight to avoid degradation. Initiatives
like enhanced waste management and the creation of protected green spaces are in line with
sustainable tourism practices that seek to balance economic development with ecological
conservation. Involving local communities in conservation efforts also strengthens these objectives.

Community Involvement
Effective tourism planning prioritizes the engagement of local communities, a strategy that Baguio
actively implements. By incorporating residents into the planning process, the city guarantees that
tourism development aligns with local values and addresses issues related to overpopulation and
environmental impact. This collaborative method promotes a sense of ownership among residents
and enhances the connection between visitors and the community.

What are the key issues (problem, constraints, concerns) they faced in this
chapter?

Environmental Degradation
The rise in tourism has resulted in environmental pressure, with litter and excessive use of natural
resources jeopardizing Baguio’s distinct ecosystems. In response, the local government is
implementing stricter environmental regulations, enhancing waste management, and creating
protected green spaces. These efforts are designed to safeguard the city’s natural beauty while
encouraging sustainable practices among visitors.

Cultural Erosion
Cultural erosion is a significant concern, as the surge in tourists can weaken local traditions. Baguio’s
tourism planning prioritizes responsible tourism that honors and preserves cultural heritage. By
involving local residents in the planning process, the city fosters authentic experiences that showcase
traditional crafts, festivals, and culinary practices, thereby helping to sustain its cultural identity.

Economic Inequity
Economic inequity is also a challenge, as tourism can lead to disparities
between residents and businesses. Baguio addresses this by emphasizing
community benefits, supporting local enterprises, and promoting community-
based tourism. These initiatives aim to ensure that economic benefits are
distributed more fairly, empowering residents and improving the visitor
experience.

How does planning for a city or town’s tourism development differ from
planning for a tourism enterprise?
Scope of Planning
City tourism development encompasses a wide range of factors, including infrastructure, community
needs, and environmental effects. Planners are required to assess how tourism influences public
services, traffic, and the local economy, with the goal of maintaining residents' quality of life. On the
other hand, tourism enterprise planning zeroes in on the operational aspects of individual businesses,
such as hotels and restaurants. This planning approach prioritizes marketing, customer service, and
financial management, often placing the success of the individual business above the welfare of the
community.

Stakeholder Engagement
City tourism development involves collaboration with various stakeholders, including local
governments, residents, and businesses. This inclusive strategy ensures that multiple viewpoints are
taken into account, leading to a tourism plan that aligns with community values. In contrast, tourism
enterprise planning mainly engages business owners and investors, focusing on maximizing profits.
This more limited perspective can neglect the wider effects on the community and the environment.

Long-Term Vision
City tourism development seeks sustainable growth that serves both residents and visitors,
highlighting the importance of cultural preservation and resource conservation. Conversely, tourism
enterprises typically focus on short-term profits, which can result in practices detrimental to the
community and the environment.

How does ecotourism planning differ from other tourism planning process?
Environmental sustainability is a key focus in the tourism planning decisions of Baguio City. The increase
in visitors has prompted a strong commitment to safeguarding the environment, given the city’s fragile
ecosystem. Implementing sustainable transport options and improving waste management systems are
vital for reducing tourism's environmental impact. Additionally, creating protected green spaces not only
attracts tourists but also helps preserve the city's biodiversity.

Baguio’s sustainability strategy involves actively engaging local communities in conservation initiatives,
cultivating a shared responsibility for the environment. By incorporating environmental factors into
tourism planning, the city seeks to develop a tourism model that coexists harmoniously with nature,
ensuring that its natural beauty can be enjoyed by future generations.
