Socio-Cultural Aspect
The Philippine culture is a blend of the Malay-Polynesian, Hispanic,
and Western cultures with some influence from the Chinese and other
Asian cultures. Having Spain colonizes us for more than 300 years
and the Americans thereafter, have made the Filipinos a melting pot
of different cultures. With the increasing number of Overseas Filipino
Workers (OFW) and international travel, the Filipino culture
continues to evolve.
Environmental Protection
One of the major threats to environmental protection is the continuous
growth of tourism industry. The implementation of laws and other
policies in favor of the environment has to be strictly enforced for
tourism development to be sustainable.
