Opportunities in Mabini |
|
Resort
Facilities
Resort facilities that also cater to non-divers. Anilao
has already gained respectable prominence as a tourist
destination in the Philippines. Facilities can thus
be built to cater to other tourist markets such as vacationers
and other non-diving visitors. This would be ideal in
the coastal barangasy extending from Anilao proper to
San Teodoro in the West, from Barangay Sto. Nino to
Brgy. Mainit in the east.

Trekking
services
The Calumpang peninsula is actually a place where various
terrestrial activities such as hiking and sighseeing
(and also camping) can be done.

Birdwatching
Services
The coastal and forest areas of Mabini can also be an
ideal birdwatching destination. The activity is still
in the infancy stage in the country. This fact, however
can be regarded as an opportunity wherein there is a
great new market potential for the activity. All it
takes is the development of manpower to become highly
skilled in bird identification and guiding.

Handicraft
Development and Marketing
Using the local community members as partners in handicraft
development, ideal tourism products can be developed
in the area. It is also highly recommended that the
materials to be developed be made into a commodity available
to a wider market base beyond the tourist markets visiting
Mabini.

Restaurants
The limited market segment that the municipality has
been attracting is also putting a limit to the diversity
of tourism businesses in the area. Together with the
increase of the types of tourists that are to be attracted
to the area, investments in support industries such
as themed dining areas should also be pursued.

Fast
crafts for island hopping
The time factor provided by the fast crafts could increase
the level of satisfaction of the visitors and open up
new products for them. Destinations such as Verde Island,
or even Puerto Galera in Mindoro Or. can become ideal
destinations requiring only a few hours to visit. |
