THE PROBLEM AND IT’S BACKGROUND
Introduction
Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The
World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in
places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and
not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not
related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited".
Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2008, there were over
922 million international tourist arrivals, with a growth of 1.9% as compared to
2007. International tourism receipts grew to US$944 billion (euro 642 billion) in
2008, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 1.8%.
As a result of the Late-2000s recession, international travel demand
suffered a strong slowdown beginning in June 2008, with growth in international
tourism arrivals worldwide falling to 2% during the boreal summer months, and
this negative trend intensified as international tourist arrivals fell by 8% during the
Numerous resorts from upscale to budget accomodation which are mainly
known to local tourists are visibly located along the wide strip of Laiya beach.
They all come to life during holidays and weekends when tourists from the wide
metropolis come to reatreat from their frenzied daily life. It does not take away its
appeal, but, for people who may want to witness this hidden beauty must visit
Laiya during low season, when the beach is calmer and much more silent. And
on peak season (December to June), it is highly advised to call for accomodation
few weeks in advance to avoid losing chances on room reservations
Aside from swimming, snorkeling, boating, and kayaking, not much water
activities are available in Laiya. Diving and other hi-tech water activities are not
yet facilitated unless interested tourists request to be chartered to Anilao, a diving
sanctuary at the other side of the coast, or to the famous diving destination-
Verde Island. Although Laiya’s main attraction is its long strip of white beach,
other sportif options can be found in its interiors, such as its hidden coves, falls
and thick forested mountains where trails have been appreciated best for
mountainbiking and trekking.
If you come to stay for a few days, don’t expect “a la carte” in your resort’s
restaurant. Dining is mostly buffet. A few foreign dishes is served but the majority
of eating pleasure in most resorts is Filipino. Options such as bringing a picnic
basket and renting an open shed is enough for day trippers. Those who don’t
have time to prepare, however, may avail some of the resorts’ lunch packages
which are already inclusive of shed and entrance fee.
Exploring Laiya
To retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city and to enjoy the fresh breeze
and warm blue water of the sea, coming to Laiya is a perfect idea for weekend
retreats. The beach is wide, all covered with white sand, and the water is warm;
wonderful enough even for a short refreshing trip.
To get there, take South Luzon Tollway, and exit at Batangas Lucena exit.
Drive along the national road until you see a board “Star Tollway” turn right at
Star Tollway (Batangas Expressway) up to Lipa Exit.
Few meters from the Star Tollway exit, you will see De La Salle University
Lipa on the left side of the road. Several meters from De La Salle, watch out for
“Y” junction (where McDonalds is at the center). Take the road at the right that
heads to Lipa town proper. Then follow the road as it merges with another road
at the right (where monument is) and watch out for Mercury Drug. Turn right at
this street then straightly take this road towards Rosario and Padre Garcia.
About 8.5km from Lipa, there will be a junction that leads to Padre Garcia.
From Padre Garcia, Turn left towards Rosario. From the town center of Rosario,
Turn left (where South Star Drug Store is) then follow this road until San Juan.
Once in san Juan, turn right at the street where municipal hall is (just across
basketall court), and upon entering the road, you will see billboards indicating
beach resorts of Laiya. Follow this road until you reach the unconcreted part.
This means you are in the vicinity. From this point and the succeeding distance,
you will see a lot of resort signboards along the road. All of them lead to resorts
along the beaches of Aplaya, Laiya, and Hugom.(2004-2009[online]
