Abstract
Dumaran is a 3rd class municipality in the northwestern section of Palawan. It is composed of 16 barangays, seven of which are part of Dumaran Island, and nine are located in the mainland. It is bounded by municipalities of Taytay, Roxas and Araceli. Dumaran is enriched with natural potentials coming from coastal, forest, and agricultural resources. One of the municipality’s development goals is to explore its vast ecotourism potentials, however, it has not yet been achieved due to poor road networks and other support infrastructures. A pool of multidisciplinary researchers and planners from the University of the Philippines Los Baños conducted an exploratory study to identify and analyze the potential tourism sites and activities in Dumaran. Through secondary data gathering, on-site validation, focus group discussions and key informant interviews, the research team identified and characterized Dumaran’s different potential eco-tourism sites. Recommendations were made on sustainable community-based tourism activities and strategies that would greatly contribute to the municipality’s economic development.
