Brgy. Laiya in the municipality of San
Juan had been identified by the Department of Tourism
as a priority development area for tourism in the early
90's. Since then, a good number of medium to high-end
resorts have been established in the area.

Medium
Density Resort Development in Laiya
Laiya has seen a phenomenal growth in tourism development.
A good number of low density and mid to high-range
resorts have been established in the area in a short
time. However, given the continuing growth of both
foreign and domestic visitors, there would be a
need to establish medium density resort facilities
(or renovate some of the existing ones). However,
utmost environmental considerations should be provided
in the establishment of such facilities.
Boats
for dolphin watching
The presence of pods of dolphins in the waters of
San Juan makes it ideal to invest in boats to provide
dolphin watching and cruising services to the visitors
of San Juan. Training on proper protocols for the
activity should be done in order to ensure that
the activity would not stress out the animals and
endanger the visitors.
Glass-bottom
boat
Any of the existing or future resorts in San Juan
can develop this purpose-built boat. This can also
further enhance the total tourism product diversity
in the area and deepen the experience of the visitors.
Local
Tour Guiding Services
The number of natural resources in San Juan is quite
impressive given the fact that some of them have
been maintained in their natural condition. There
is already an existing market base in Laiya. The
local tour operator must also provide local transportation
services as some of the attractions are located
some distance from the market areas.
