OVERVIEW OF TOURISM

AND HOSPITALITY
TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY
• The Hospitality and Tourism Cluster prepares learners
for careers in the management, marketing and
operations of restaurants and other food services,
lodging, attractions, recreational events and travel-
related services. Hospitality operations are located in
communities throughout the world.
TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY DEFINED
• Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice
of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and
entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.
• Hospitality is the relationship between a guest and a host, wherein
the host receives the guest with some amount of goodwill, including
the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. 
Louis, chevalier de Jaucourt describes hospitality in the Encyclopédie
 as the virtue of a great soul that cares for the whole universe through
the ties of humanity.[4] Hospitality is also the way people treat others,
that is, the service of welcoming receiving guests for example in
hotels. Hospitality plays a fundamental role to augment or decrease
the volume of sales of an organization.
NEEDS OF HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY
• There are two basic needs that fuel the demand for tourism. One is
the curiosity, desire or need to visit and see different tourist places;
know, experience & see natural wonders of places, cultures, etc.
Second is to travel.
• Whatever aspect of the tourism sector your business is involved in,
you need to keep your finger on the pulse. Formerly beloved concepts
and products go out of style, to be replaced by more modern
elements that end up capturing more of the market. New
destinations, new technologies and means of transport have caused
major shifts in the industry. Early adoption of new trends is vital.

IMPORTANCE OF TOURISM
• Tourism is an important sector for Philippine economy. In 2019, the
travel and tourism industry contributed 12.7% to the country's GDP.
Philippines is an archipelagic country composed of 7,641 islands with
81 provinces divided in 17 regions.
• Tourism plays an important role in the Philippine economy. The
country boasts of rich natural beauty in its many spectacular beaches,
sunny weather and rich bio-diversity. More than that, the Philippines’
unique and complex culture, as exemplified by its people, cuisine and
lifestyle, attracts many people to visit the country.
CULTURE

• The Philippines, is an archipelagic country located in Southeast Asia with

Manila as its capital city. The Philippine archipelago comprises 7,107
islands in the western Pacific Ocean. The Philippines is a country that
contains a myriad of different amalgamated cultures and influences. The
superficial face of modern Filipino culture has many more influences
from the Western world than other nearby Asian cultures. Most of these
influences are a product of previous colonization and derived mainly
from the cultures of Spain and the United States, with a secondary
influence from Latin American cultures who were under Spain during the
same period the Philippines was. Despite the visual Western and
Hispanic influences, the older Asian aspects of Filipino culture are still not
lost. Within Asia, this Western-Eastern juxtaposition is most seen in the
Philippines, and continues to fascinate many a guest to the country.
CUISINE

• Philippine cuisine consists of the foods, preparation

methods and eating customs found in the Philippines.
The style of cooking and the foods associated with it
have evolved over several centuries from its
Austronesian origins to a mixed cuisine with many
Hispanic, Chinese, American, and other Asian
influences adapted to indigenous ingredients and the
local palate.
FAMOUS TOURIST SPOTS
• Intramuros, a walled city in Manila, was built by the Spanish in the 16th century. Originally,
Manila‘s boundaries were the city walls. But due to the growing size of the city, newer
buildings were built outside these walls. As of today, Intramuros contains museums,
churches and an old fort.
• Somewhere in the archipelago, there is at least one fiesta being celebrated 365 days a year
(By the third week of January head off to Kalibo for the Asia's version of the Mardi
Gras). Manila, Cebu and Boracay are the ground zero for parties - pool parties, yacht
parties, rave and fashion events.
• Makati City is the modern face of Manila, in complete contrast to Intramuros. Major malls,
business centers, hotels are situated in Makati City. Lined with modern high rise buildings,
the Makati skyline is the best in the country.
• Aklan is one of the most visited provinces in the Philippines not only because of its beaches
but also of its popular yearly colorful event which is the Ati-Atihan Festival in Kalibo.
• Chocolate Hills are limestone hills that turn brown during the summer. Chocolate Hills are
found in the island province of Bohol, which is also the home of one of the smallest
primates in the world—the Philippine tarsier.
FAMOUS TOURIST SPOTS
• The Hanging Coffins of Sagada and the Banaue Rice Terraces are worth a visit in the Northern
Philippines. The rice terraces were carved out of mountains thousands of years ago and by far the
most extensive of its kind in the world with sophisticated irrigation and engineering that was
unthinkable during the time it was built.
• Taal Volcano, one of the smallest active volcanoes in the world, sits on a lake and is just an hour away
from Manila. The fresh cool air off the Tagaytay Ridge provides a spectacular view of the lake and the
volcano. Visitors should confirm whether hiking to the crater is safe or not before attempting to do so.
• North of Manila, take the rough road and go to Mt. Pinatubo, the volcano which caused a massive
eruption in 1991. Now you can marvel at the volcano up close and swim inside its crater. The last
eruption was one of the biggest during the last century and lowered the global temperature by at
least a degree.
• The Hundred Islands, also located in the Northern Philippines, is a group of more that 400 islets with
coral reefs surrounding the islets. These islands are famous for their beaches and the coral reefs,
which can be explored by snorkeling.
• About two thousand years ago, mountains in Northern Luzon were carved by indigenous people to
form what is now the Banaue Rice Terraces. The rice terraces cover 4,000 square miles (10,000 km2)
of mountainside. The Banaue Rice Terraces is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
FAMOUS TOURIST SPOTS
• The province of Palawan is one of the most beautiful islands in the South China Sea. Palawan has natural gas fields
on the northeastern part of the island but the beautiful beaches around the island remain pristine. The island is
home to the spectacular Tubbataha Reef and the breathtaking Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park,
both UNESCO World Heritage sites.
• Boracay Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. The island boasts a 4-kilometer stretch
of white sand beach, considered to be the best beach in Asia and one of the top ten beaches in the world.
• The gateway to the natural wonders in the Central Visayas, Cebu is a top tourist destination in the Philippines. The
country's oldest street and city are found in this bustling metropolis where the urban sprawl is ever growing. Many
tourists, who wish to stay away from the metro's hustle and bustle, are drawn to Cebu's hidden secrets: amazing
dive sites, island resorts, white-sand islets, waterfalls, lakes, springs, mountain trails and countless wonders, all of
which are a short bus ride away.
• Surfing in the Philippines is comparable to the best in the world – with the world-famous cloud 9s off the island of
Siargao facing the Philippine Trench in the Western Pacific as well as the surfing destinations of La Union and
Zambales (facing the South China Sea).
• The Philippines is one of the top three best diving destinations in the world. The archipelago is one of the top
biodiversity hotspots in the world, with the most number of species concentrated in one area. The best dive sites in
the Philippines are located in Anilao, Boracay, Malapascua, Apo Island, Balicasag, Pamilacan, Tubbataha, Palawan,
and Puerto Galera. Subic Bay, home of a former American naval base, is also known for World War II wreck dives.
TOURISM AND ITS RELATION TO PRO DEVELOPMENT

reference to a wide variety of specialized training, formal education,
or advanced professional learning intended to help administrators,
teachers, and other educators improve their professional knowledge,
competence, skill, and effectiveness.
• Research shows that professional development leads to better
instruction and improved student learning when it connects to the
curriculum materials that teachers use, the district and state
