The Philippines is a land of great natural beauty. Through the years, many attempts have been made to take advantage of this and develop tourism into one of the country's biggest revenue-earners.

With the continuing destruction of the environment and the rapid loss of the very resources that are being counted upon to draw visitors, it has become necessary to examine what i s being done, and determine how the national tourism development programs may be revised.

Quiet Places: A Look at Ecotourism in the Philippines is about a new, more relevant and more gentle kind of tourism. A way of traveling that has become popular all over the world and is finally gaining advocacy in the Philippines.
