Sustainable eco-tourism is the key. Ensuring that the Philippines tourists destinations are not only accessible but these tourists destinations should always be clean and appropriately maintained (using only electric public vehicles) and the price of hotels must be very reasonable.
Please note that boatmen must not be allowed to smoke while on duty. An elevated waste water treatment plants must be installed in the area so as not to pollute the water around.
Also, please promote (to both local and foreign tourists)local food, fruits and products which are famous in the destination areas.
God bless the Philippines.
