CHAPTER 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Quezon is a province of the Philippines in the Calabarzon area of Luzon Island.

The area was named after Manuel L. Quezon, the second President of the Philippines.

Lucena is the provincial capital, seat of the Quezon government and the most crowded

city of the territory, yet is administered freely as an exceedingly urbanized city. Quezon

is southeast of Metro Manila and is bordered by the areas of Aurora toward the north,

Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna and Batangas toward the west and the territories of Camarines

Norte and Camarines Sur toward the east. Some portion of Quezon lies on an isthmus

associating the Bicol peninsula to the main part of Luzon. The region likewise

incorporates the Polillo Islands in the Philippine Sea.

A noteworthy tourism attraction to the area is Mount Banahaw. However, there is

a new tourist attraction namely Jomalig Island, that can be found 75 nautical miles

(139 km) southeast of Polilio Islands. Jomalig is in the fifth island district on the eastern

part of the province of Quezon, Philippines. As indicated by the 2015 census, it has a

populace of 7,417 people, making it the least populated municipality in the province. The

general population on island named the island "Humalik". Numerous years passed and

the Humalik move toward becoming Jomalig. Numerous old occupants said that the

Americans transformed it when they vanquished Philippines.

To achieve our goals, we will be using the marketing tools such as promotions and

advertisements with the help of social media as our platform. We will also post videos

and pictures to attract our potential target market. In addition, we will also be adding some

facilities and recreational activities like building a floating raft, inflatable slides, parasailing,

love locks, camp sites and building new accommodation. These will contribute in giving

the tourists a memorable and fun experience within the destination. We will propose this

plan to the local government unit to help us have enough funds for implementing the

developmental plan.

CHAPTER III

Industry Analysis

Venturing into the Philippines is like turning the wheel of fortune. You'll never

recognize what's to expect. One minute you're caught in the city, at that point a couple of

hours after the fact, you’re landing in paradise. These amazing adventures can be very

far from the city. Shockingly, they're worth the travel especially if they’re unspoiled and in

their most natural form.

Beside the acclaimed Pahiyas Festival and delectable longganisa found in

Lucban, Quezon has been named as "the coconut capital of the Philippines". In case

you're not wild about coconuts, Quezon is home to 400-year old houses of worship,

recorded fortunes, and even a forest park.

About 46% of the province has slopes greater than 18%. The northern portion is very

mountainous and rugged while Central Quezon is flat to gently undulating except for Mt.

Banahaw Protected Landscape, Mt. Cristobal and the Quezon Protected Landscape

(formerly Quezon National Park). The Sierra Madre runs along the entire length of

province that includes Mt. Banahaw, an active volcano with a height of 7,382 feet, as the

most prominent peak. Other mountain peaks include Bondoc Peninsula area, Polillo

Island, Jomalig Island and Alabat Island.

Generally, Quezon Province is indeed a wealthy province in terms of natural resource.

Quezon Province has a lot to offer from natural resource down to archaeological,

historical, and cultural resources.

III. 3 TOURIST ARRIVALS

(Local and National)

Starting with the Miss Universe 2016 pageant held in January, 2017 was a very fruitful

year for the Department of Tourism (DOT).

It took almost 23 years for the Miss Universe pageant to be held again in the Philippines

and this time, our very own Pia Wurtzbach passed on the crown to Iris Mittenaere of

France.

“Our islands, food, and the biggest smiles of our people are all over the news and social

media these past few weeks. The world now knows how beautiful our islands are, how

delectable our cuisine is, and how friendly and warm Filipinos are – just ask the Miss

Universe candidates themselves,” Tourism Secretary Wanda Corazon Teo said after the

pageant.

After over 10 months, such event resulted to more tourist arrivals in the Philippines.

“It has increased tourist arrivals. Nakilala tayo. (We became known. The arrivals

increased),” Teo told Manila Bulletin in an interview.

Over 5M tourists

A total of 5,474,310 international tourists visited the Philippines in the first 10 months of

2017, data from the DOT showed. It noted an increase of 11.54 percent compared with

what was recorded in the same period last year, which was 4,908,017. Aside from the
INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

Miss Universe pageant in the Philippines, there were other factors that helped the tourism

industry attract more arrivals. It’s not only the Miss Universe. I’ve been going out of the

country. I went from one country to another. I talked to the tour operators. We invited them

to come to the Philippines so they could promote it to their countries,” Teo noted.

Chinese and Indian tourists

Also, a factor in the increase was the growing number of Chinese and Indian tourists. Teo

said the country is getting close to the one million targets for Chinese tourists.

“Almost there, [we now have] around 900,000 [Chinese tourists], she disclosed. Indian

visitors, on the other hand, increased by 20.28 percent. “With the surge in Chinese and

Indian arrivals, we are optimistic to hit the target of at least 6.5 million as set by the

National Tourism Development Plan for 2017-2022,” she said.

International recognition

A number of tourism destinations in the Philippines have also gained international

recognition. Some of which were the Isla de Sta. Cruz, Puerto Princesa Subterranean

River National Park, and Baguio City.

Isla de Sta. Cruz was included in the National Geographic’s “21 Best Beaches in the

World”.

“We are so proud about this citation and happy about its very timely announcement which

comes right after our visit in December when I had pushed for the island’s immediate

improvement and development as an ecotourism destination,” Teo said.


INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park ranked 30th on the Cable News

Network (CNN) Travel’s “50 Works of Art” list.

“Nominated as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, the Puerto Princesa Subterranean

River is 8.2 kilometers and boasts limestone karst formations, stalactites and

stalagmites,” said CNN Travel editor Bija Knowles in her list.

Meanwhile, Baguio was included in the “UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific

and Cultural Organization) Creative Cities”, under the field of Craft and Folk Arts.

Travel advisories

Teo said the problem that they had every once in a while, in 2017 were the travel

advisories issued against going to the Philippines. The tourism head, on the other hand,

maintained that she has reached out to a number of countries’, giving assurance that the

Philippines remains to be safe haven for tourists.

Local government set-up and tourism directions

Tourism as a product and service-oriented industry, could generate widespread benefits

and impacts to the economy and society. It could contribute to the achievement of

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) particularly those concerning poverty alleviation,

environmental conservation, and generation of employment opportunities for women,

indigenous communities and young people. Further, tourism could be a source of revenue

(foreign exchange earnings, tax revenue) to the government and because of its multiplier

effect, could provide opportunities for local economic development (LED).


INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

The direct, upstream, and downstream industries involved in tourism activities have the

potential for creating sectoral linkages and economic opportunities in the localities. The

major sub‐sectors prevalent in Philippine tourism include ecotourism; medical, health and

wellness and retirement; meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE);

adventure, outdoor and sports; amusement, entertainment and leisure; and cultural and

heritage tourism (Alvia and Libosada, Jr., 2009). In 2005, the Philippines’ gross domestic

product (GDP) at market prices was estimated at US$99 billion.

Tourism’s direct contribution to GDP is around 2% and employment generated is around

1.5 million jobs. In 2006, there were over 3.49 million people directly and indirectly

employed in the tourism industry. From 2004 to 2007, the industry registered annual

average growth rates of 10.5% and 34.9% in terms of tourist arrivals and receipts,

respectively (Gutierrez, 2008). In 2007, travel and tourism contributed an estimated 3.8

million jobs across the economy (or around 8.8% of total employment). In view of the

socio-economic benefits that could accrue to communities, it is imperative that

communities capitalize on opportunities from tourism.

CHAPTER V

V. I. TARGET MARKET

The hospitality industry in which the beach resort is a part of is one where there are always
available customers at several times in the year. This means that our target market is not
limited to a certain group of people but to everyone who is looking for clean fun, untouched
beach resort, far from pollution, nature-friendly environment and of course people who
are willing to try extreme recreational activities or somewhere to ease of stress and relax.
This is the perfect place where they can enjoy back to basics camping away from the
crowds and they can experience the untouched beach resort of Jomalig.

Specifically, these are the preferred target market. We are therefore in this industry to
offer our services to the following group of people such as;

 Households
 Corporate executives
 Celebrities and high classed personalities
 Business people
 Sporting personalities
 Students
 Tourists (International or Local)
 Couples
 Event planners
 Retiring People
 Team Building
 Back Packers
 Extreme People
INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

V.2. MARKETING OBJECTIVES

This research looks at the potentials of the untouched Jomalig Island without

compensating the natural resource. The goal is to help the Municipality of Jomalig

particularly the community within the island, to be developed without compensating the

natural resource. Specifically they want to put up a mini floating rafts in the island that will

serve as a place to eat for the tourists, inflatable slides that will cater family and team

building activities, sunbathe lounge for those who love sun bathing, provide tents and

cottages for day tour and overnight stay in the campsite. Organize a Hammock Making

activity, Put up a love lock attraction for couples, provide Parasailing equipment to let the

tourist enjoy the scenery of the place, rooms for overnight accommodation, provide ocean

jet liner and lastly, they want to put up power of electricity, water supply and ask the local

government to create and strictly implement environmental rules such as carrying

capacity of Jomalig Island per day before it becomes a popular tourist attraction.

The researchers chose Jomalig Island because, it is a concrete example of a location that

needs to be develop. Given that it’s not that easy to get to, which means the place remains

unspoiled. The golden sand beaches, agoho pine trees, refreshing atmosphere and

naturally sights in the island are just stunning. Jomalig Island is best for those who enjoy

unspoiled beaches.

Also, while beach resorts have been seen as a place where people go to relax and have

fun, it is also used for several other events and occasions such as weddings, business

meetings, field trip and so on. This therefore means that it is very necessary for beach

resorts to be able to generate revenues from other sources as well as their primary
INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

source. Finally, in this age, more businesses have been able to penetrate the market as

well as come up with different ways to stay in touch with the customers through the

internet as well as technology. The internet is a home to various websites, blogs and

forums suitable for promoting the business via intense publicity and advertisement.

V. 3. MARKETING ACTION PLAN

TRAVEL DIRECTORIES

When people plug in most travel keywords, travel directories are what rank on

the first page. Rather than listing on many travel directories, selectively choose a

combination of major travel directories and directories that target your specific

genre. If someone types in a search for leisure locations, bed and breakfast

directories show up first. Only list your resort with directories you will check

regularly for reviews. People love to leave reviews almost as much as people

depend on reading reviews to make informed choices. Responding to reviews

shows customers you care about their customer experience.


INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

WEBSITE

Your website is your interactive brochure and also serves to bring the other

marketing strategies for the island. Since people use their phones to connect so

much now, your website needs to be easy to navigate on a phone. It’s easier to

design your website to fit the format of a smartphone screen and let it adjust

automatically for larger screens than it is to design for a computer monitor screen

and try to make it work for mobile too.


INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

SOCIAL MEDIA

Most people are on one social media platform or another. Social media is one of

the best marketing strategies for resorts/islands to engage in ongoing

relationships with customers. You ask questions, respond to customer

interaction, and post about your island, specials, and interests in your area. Your

customers respond to your posts, share their photos, post reviews, and share

your page and posts with their friends. Customers with a connection with you are

more likely to return


INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

OPTIMIZE LOCAL LISTINGS

It is a must to optimize your local listings by 100% no matter how well-known, big

or small your brand is. Travelers will search according to your location, and it will
INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

be tough for them to get to you if you are not optimized in the local listings.

Therefore, you must abide by this expectation if you want to get on top of the

search engine results. An island will always be a local business by default.

Optimizing your site for local listings may turn out to be the most key factor that

search engines take into consideration while indexing local businesses. The

location of an island is a unique factor to put into consideration. The best way to

optimize for local listings is claiming and actively building the Google + local page

for your resort. Your website will appear in the SERPs if you take this approach

every time the island appears for local searches.

KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS

Examine every step of your tourist’s journey, from the first Google search to their

check-out stop at your main lodge. Where can you enhance their experience?

Maybe you leave them with a complimentary chocolate. Maybe you team up

with a nearby restaurant to offer a discounted meal. Maybe you write a

better confirmation email when they book a stay. Whatever it is, killing them

with kindness will keep your island business alive and thriving.

1. RESPONDING QUICKLY TO YOUR NON-FANS


INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

Online reviews can make or break a booking at your island. If a potential visitor is

researching your services, and comes across 3 negative reviews – and no

positive ones – its bad news for you.

For each negative review you get, make sure to publicly respond in the same

area – and not with an “I told you so!” Respond with an apology (the customer is

always right) and a wish of goodwill. Be sincere. It should be a sample of

superior customer service. Remember, you are not posting this for the benefit of

an unhappy customer, but for the benefit of potential customers.

On the flip side, encourage guests to leave reviews when they stay at your island

to ramp up a more positive presence in these areas.

CHAPTER VI

VI. OPERATIONAL ACTION PLAN

1. Floating Rafts

A floating raft made from plastic cube-shaped containers linked together.

This will serve as the place where tourists can eat or relax. The researchers

decided to use containers rather than bamboo trees for sustainability purposes,

they will a lot a specific place in the island for the floating rafts that will be in thirty

pieces and equal sizes. That will carry 3-6 number of people. Nonetheless, for

family and group of friends that are more than the six members, the cottages in the

shore will be perfect.


INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

2. Accommodation

Inspired by San Narciso Beach in Zambales, these nipa huts will serve as an

overnight accommodation for the tourist.

3. Inflatable Slides

Inspired by the Asia’s biggest floating playground- the adorable Inflatable Island

in Subic, the researchers decided to put up a few inflatable slides to cater both

the family and team building activities. They prefer to put up this kind of water

activity than the motorize one such us: banana boating, flying fish, jet ski and etc.

because they believe that “The more tourist avail motorized water activities, the

more water pollution the tourist can cause” Specifically, they will put up

trampoline, jumping pillow and sunny slides. Price will range from P250.00 each
INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

type of slide, but they can avail the bundle package that cost P600.00 for all

slides that they can enjoy the whole day.

4. Sunbathe Lounge

For those tourists who just want to relax and have tan lines on their skin sunbathe

lounge will be perfect. To make it more unique, the tourists will have to rent for the

inflatable lounge chair for P100.00 per hour. To add up the fun, it comes with

different designs and colors.

5. Parasailing

Parasailing is a great experience for a few adventure-minded individuals. Imagine

being whisked into the sky while strapped in a seat covered by a colorful parachute! This

is a popular activity where riders can view the beautiful shoreline of white beach from

above while being pulled by a boat. This is a fun and exciting experience for those who

love heights and want a birds-eye-view of the whole island. Up to two guests can occupy

the same canopy. It cost P2000.00 per person if double and P2, 500.00 if single use. It

includes 15 Minutes of gliding, Boat transfer to location, Parasailing equipment and life

jacket.
INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

6. Love Lock

Due to the romantic history of the island, the researchers come up with an idea

to put a Love Lock area on the island where couples can go to this spot and place

a lock on the banister to “lock-in” their love. Whether or not you think it’s a corny

concept, you can’t deny how impressive this sight is to see. In the future, the

researchers believe that this will be the most charming feature in the island. The

padlocks will be available on the island’s entrance point.


INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

7. Camp Site

To accommodate high number of tourists the researchers will add more tents for

overnight accommodation and colorful bean bags for day tour. Rental of tent per night is

P1500.00 good for 4 persons while day tour umbrellas will be at P500.00
INSTITUTE OF TOURISM & HOTEL MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

8. Transportation

There is no formal transportation for boats going to Jomalig Island, small motor

bancas are being use to travel the tourists from the city proper to the island. For

the safety, comfort and travel time of the tourist ocean jet liners will be provided.

V.III. CONCLUSIONS

The project proposed here on planning and proposing a developmental plan in

Jomalig Island in Quezon Province is an academic requirement, for the partial fulfillment

of Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism Management and Hotel and Restaurant Management.

We conclude that this is the time for Jomalig Island to be known as one of the most

relaxing, nature-oriented, scenic and to become one of the best tourist beach-resort

destinations that offers multiple activities like parasailing, different kinds of water

activity, floating raft, inflatable slides and many more. Moreover, the objectives of this

proposal are the rapid growth of the booming tourism industry that can be able to

provide more opportunities for growth and development in all facets in terms of social,

environmental, and economic aspects for overall prosperity.
