Abstract

This study calculated the physical carrying capacity of selected tourism sites in the Philippines and assessed the social carrying capacity. A mix of quantitative and qualitative approaches was employed. Based on data, the sites were utilized below carrying capacity. The level of tourism development was post-infancy to growth. The destinations should be packaged well to compete with more established attractions in the province. The social carrying capacity was examined based on the usage by local resident tourists of the natural and human-made attractions. Respondents answered affirmatively about regularly visiting the sites. It may be concluded that local tourists participate actively and enjoy the natural gifts of their place. They were not deprived due to over-regulation, overcrowding, or massive rehabilitation activities. It is recommended that the local government build on the positive attitude of locales regarding their own tourism. This attitude can help significantly in the promotion of the sites.
