40 Tourism Business Investment Prospects Approaching saturation in their invested markets and seeking new destinations, investors now view the Philippines as the next big Southeast Asian destination, notwithstanding our limited accessibility and underdeveloped infrastructure. Tourism related infrastructure capacity is already constrained and tightening, but with the diffused development of resorts, especially along the shores, visitors have gone to practically all over the Philippines for vastly improved eco-tourism facilities.

41 However, many destinations are still in need of more tourism facilities. Many more places await new opportunities for infusion of tourism investments. The Philippines is like a blank canvass waiting for the image to be painted. Like many works of art, it depends on the combination of colors, themes and brush strokes that will ultimately determine its success or failure. We are those combinations of brush strokes and colors. We make up the scenery of our tourism industry. We need to inspire one another to make a better Philippine tourism industry.

42 We call upon the Real Estate sector to heed the challenge for the development of more facilities that will support tourismrelated activities, and find new markets and investors. The DOT acknowledges the property sector s initiatives in taking a more active role as facilities provider that support the national tourism development programs of the Aquino Administration. DOT values CREBA s continued partnership, as it strives to trickle-down the benefits of tourism directly to our local communities all over the country, that will ultimately fulfill the administration s national goal: ~ revenue generation ~ job creation ~ and, most importantly, poverty alleviation
