INVESTING IN ECOTOURISM IN BATANGAS

VERDE PASSAGE

Tingloy
Although existing infrastructure and utilities concerns have been putting limitations on the development of the island-municipality, the development of integrated resort facilities could overcome this limitation. The resort facilities should be able to cater to various market segments and not be limited to a particular niche such as the diving community.

 

Investment Oppotunties in Tingloy  

Resort Development
With the possible saturation of resort development in Mabini comes the high possibility of setting up such business in Tingloy. The island-municipality also has a long expanse of white sand beach where such facility can be an ideal business. However, there should be an impressive and highly thematic type of development in the area because of its relative long distance from the mainland.

The western part of the island, especially Sepok Point is highly ideal for resort development which can include high-end facilities.

Services for gamefishing
This should be limited to the local community members. However, a private entity to do the marketing and the development of the program would also have to be developed. The advantage of Tingloy over Anilao in Mabini is that there is almost zero number of traditional fishing boat in the latter while many local folks of Tiungloy are still engage in this activity, and still own traditional fishing boats.
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 Tingloy.
