kite capital of the philippines department of tourism types of tourism what is tourism tourism product

The City of Sipalay in Negros Occidental has been declared the Kite Tourism Capital of the Philippines during the staging of its 8th Burangoy Kite Festival over the weekend.

“The KAP confers to the City of Sipalay the title ‘Kite Tourism Capital of the Philippines’ in grateful recognition for the enduring commitment in promoting the traditional Filipino kite culture as an annual tourism activity,” the plaque dated March 31, 2022 read.

The declaration is an affirmation of the city’s efforts in promoting sustainable tourism by showcasing the kite festival as a family-friendly activity, kite flying as an eco-friendly sport, and kite making as a venue to promote local arts and culture.



“Most importantly, the kite itself is our symbol of hope to soar high and recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 (coronavirus disease) pandemic and Typhoon Odette,” he said.

Lacson added that the latest recognition received by the city serves as a challenge for stakeholders “to strive, to innovate, to be better, and to improve” Sipalay’s image and quality as a tourist destination.

This year’s Burangoy Kite Festival, which was among the activities alongside the city’s 21st Charter Anniversary, was the first after it was suspended for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The kite flying exhibitions were conducted from March 30 to April 3 while the actual competition was held on March 31 at the Poblacion beach.

For the second time, the festival showcased colorful and unique kites made of various materials except for plastic in support of the local government’s “no plastic policy”.



The annual Sipalay kite festival is the grand winner in the Best Tourism Event (Sports) City Category of the 2018 Pearl Awards organized by the Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines and the Department of Tourism.

Its official name “Burangoy” was coined from the words “burador” or kite, and “barongoy”, a local term for flying fish.

Sipalay, officially the City of Sipalay, is a 4th class component city in the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) launches the second phase of the Save Our Spots (SOS) campaign titled, “Keep the Fun Going”, to encourage tourists to practice eco-friendly travels.

The campaign builds on the gains of the SOS phase one that was launched in 2019 to educate travelers about becoming responsible tourists. “Keep the Fun Going” aims not only to educate but also motivate travelers to take part in sustainable tourism practices, mainly through gamified challenges.

“The DOT has been integrating sustainable tourism principles in its projects, programs and policies, even involving tourists to be part of these efforts. Through the SOS campaign, we aim to raise awareness about responsible travel and emphasize that every small act goes a long way to ensure that future generations will continue to benefit from and enjoy nature’s abundance,” said Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat.

The Philippines is home to some of the world’s richest ecosystems and diverse species, which are facing both climate change and human threats, such as overtourism and neglect of the environment.


To inspire more tourists to practice sustainable travel, the campaign will highlight a gamified experience featuring four eco-friendly ways to travel. The challenges will be demonstrated through collaboration with local key influencers, after which, the public will be enjoined to accomplish at least two of the four activities, which are:

  • The “Certified Foot Soldier Challenge” that encourages travelers to walk, hike, or bike more often;
  • The “Zero-Waste Warrior”, which inspires travelers to reduce waste by avoiding single-use plastics and always bringing reusable water bottles, utensils, and shopping bags;
  • The “resTOURism Advocate Challenge” that encourages tourists to volunteer in restoration efforts of communities, such as planting activities, clean-up drives, and wildlife preservation; and,
  • The “Eco-Staycationer Challenge” that motivates tourists to book in eco-friendly accommodations, such as local homestays or ANAHAW-awardee hotels that take action to promote sustainability.

DOT launches “Keep the Fun Going” sustainable tourism campaign with gamified challenges


The tourism industry in Sorsogon is optimistic about recovering from the economic slump after health authorities downgraded the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) alert status to Level 2, resulting in eased restrictions and the opening of more establishments.

In an interview on Tuesday, Bobby Gigantone, chief of the Sorsogon Provincial Tourism Office (SPTO), said they have reopened the "butanding" or whale shark interaction in Donsol town following a multi-sectoral meeting on the setting up of guidelines and protocols that would ensure the safety of both the tourists and locals.

Under Alert Level 2, indoor establishments are allowed to have a 50-percent capacity while outdoor areas may have a 70-percent capacity.

The tourism industry of Donsol has suffered huge economic losses resulting from the pandemic due to closed establishments and unemployment of hundreds of workers.

Loading...
Donsol Tourism Office (DTO) data showed the pre-pandemic edition of the Butanding Festival in 2019 generated a total of PHP448 million in gross revenues, of which PHP75 million went to the community, PHP3.5 million went to the local government unit (LGU) coffers, and the rest was spent for national promotions and tourism marketing activities.

The DTO data also showed 13,000 tourist arrivals in the same year.

"With the permanent and temporary closure of tourist establishments such as hotels, resorts, restaurants, hundreds of millions in revenue were lost and hundreds of workers lost their jobs," Gigantone said.

The town's whale shark interaction project is a collaborative undertaking between the LGU, the Department of Tourism (DOT), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines, a joint commitment for a sustainable and balanced eco-tourism program.

Sorsogon Gov. Francis Escudero, in a statement, said the reopening of the tourism sites would help the industry and community, particularly its workers to bounce back from the slump.

He said the province will soon also open other tourist destinations including the Bulusan Natural Park.

Meanwhile, Herbie Aguas, DOT regional director, in a phone interview, said the pandemic has hurt the tourism industry in the region for the past two years, with PHP10 billion in revenues already lost.

"It will take two to three years for the industry to gradually recover and for the government to pour in fiscal stimulus to assist in the recovery plan," Aguas said.

He also said the pandemic taught some industry stakeholders to find alternative sources of income such as engaging in agri-tourism.

Bicol currently has 16 farm sites that feature agricultural products, research developments, farm exhibits, and farmers' training.

Among the sites opened for tours are the Hibiscus Trekker’s Camp in Tigaon town, Inarihan Farm Resort in Naga City, LRV-Agri Science Far in Calabanga, MikeLiz Integrated Farm also in Calabanga, Sonrisa Farm in Magarao, AO Techno Science Park @ OADP at the Central Bicol State University of Agriculture in Pili, all in Camarines Sur.

Ayala Land: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Urban Living (List of Estates, Developments & Properties)


Thousands of visitors, residents, and workers at Camp John Hay can now enjoy a free, eco-friendly ride with the launch of the new John Hay Loop.



This six-month pilot shuttle service uses electric vehicles (EVs) and is a joint initiative of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), its subsidiary John Hay Management Corporation (JHMC), and private partners DeviceDesign Co. Ltd., LexSwitch, and the Cordillera Basic Sector Transport Cooperative.


The project aims to improve mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and promote sustainable transportation in one of Baguio's most popular destinations. The service is set to benefit the nearly four thousand people who live and work in the area, as well as the increasing number of eco-conscious tourists visiting the city.




John Hay Loop Route and Stops

Three EV units are now operating, each capable of accommodating 22 seated and nine standing passengers. They serve eight designated stations throughout Camp John Hay, including:

  • Main Gate Station – John Hay Trade and Cultural Center

  • Filling Station A – near Le Monet Hotel

  • Scout Hill Station A – near Camp John Hay Grounds

  • Mile Hi Station A – from Forest Lodge

  • Gate 4 Station – to South Drive and Outlook Drive

  • Sheridan Station – near John Hay Golf

  • Mile Hi Station B – going to Forest Lodge

  • Filling Station B – going to Main Gate



Each unit is powered by a 70-kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery with fast-charging capability, allowing it to fully recharge in just 90 minutes. A 7kWh onboard slow charger is also available as a backup.

According to BCDA President and CEO Engr. Joshua M. Bingcang, “The John Hay Loop moves us toward a cleaner, faster, and more connected Baguio. Through this collaboration with the private sector and the international community, we are building a sustainable transport model that will benefit residents, workers, and tourists for years to come.”




The partnership was formalized in June 2025 when BCDA and JHMC signed a memorandum of understanding with DeviceDesign, LexSwitch, and the Cordillera Basic Sector Transport Cooperative. LexBuild Group and LexSWITCH EcoMobility Inc. provide the EV units and charging stations, while DeviceDesign supplies the station signages and tracking technology.



DeviceDesign and the Cordillera Basic Sector Transport Cooperative will evaluate the pilot service by monitoring passenger experience, ridership levels, and overall system operations. They will then provide recommendations for the long-term implementation of the John Hay Loop.



This initiative underscores BCDA’s commitment to making destinations more accessible while protecting the environment. By integrating clean transportation solutions in Camp John Hay, BCDA aims to promote a greener future for Baguio and set a national benchmark for sustainable mobility in tourism areas. The John Hay Loop aligns with the BCDA’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Goal 13: Climate Action.

JOHN HAY LOOP: Catch a Free Shuttle Ride in Baguio


Tourists often visit the town of La Trinidad in Benguet to see the strawberry and flower farms and buy fresh vegetables. But now, there is another reason to make the trip from Baguio City.


On June 23, the STOBOSA Hillside Homes Artwork was unveiled. It is the first and largest community artwork in the Philippines.

The project is a component of the Department of Tourism-Cordillera Administrative Region’s Rev-Bloom (Rev-Up, Revive, Revisit, Revitalize) Urban Redevelopment Tourism project supported by Davies Paints.

WHAT IS STOBOSA?

STOBOSA stands for Stonehill, Botiwtiw and Sadjap—the three sitios on which the artwork now stands. The project was inspired by the Favelas in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 

StoBoSa Hillside

The 200 houses that line the stone hill on Km. 3, La Trinidad previously formed something akin to a confusing wall overlooking the Balili River. It has now been transformed into an 18,000-sqm. collective canvas that’s brilliantly painted by 520 residents and volunteers (The endeavor commenced in January 2016.). This is a testament to the bayanihan spirit still alive among Filipinos.

Davies Paints team Davies Paints/Clinton Aniversario

Davies Paints, the country’s number one paint exporter and number one in colors, provided environment-friendly paints as part of its advocacy to beautify the Philippines, give back to communities and bring color into people’s lives.

StoBoSa Hillside Before and After

The local government of La Trinidad provided paintbrushes and rollers and built scaffolding. Tam-awan artists, led by Jordan Mang-osan, designed the connective landscape. The residents and volunteers executed the artwork beautifully, motivated by community spirit.


The STOBOSA community has pledged to make the project sustainable by touching up the artwork as necessary. Working together has also inspired representatives of the households—mostly women—to undertake other efforts to beautify their area by keeping it clean and infusing life by planting greens. 

Valley of Colors

After their collective effort, the area is now a burst of vibrant colors—a welcoming sight as you enter the town. So the next time you go up North, get your cameras ready. The community artwork will be visible on your right after you cross the La Trinidad arch from Baguio City.


A few fun facts about the project:

Three villages

The art project transformed three sitios of Barangay Balili in La Trinidad. These are Stone Hill, Botiwtiw, and Sadjap.


180 houses

As of writing, 180 houses have all been painted just in time for the unveiling activity.

80 days

The giant mural was finished in 80 days since it started on January 18. The sessions included painting training.



2,800 gallons of paints

It took 1,000 gallons of primer paints and 500 gallons of colored paints to design StoBoSa Hillside Homes. They will be needing 1,300 gallons more to complete the project. Davies Paints provided all these for free.

520 people worked together

The residents of the three villages, local artists, and members of volunteer groups—all 520 of them—put together their hands to make one giant work of art.

MAGWAI - Founder & Creation

In 2016, 2 ocean-loving colleagues, Czar and Maffy, learned that the sunscreens that are widely available in the Philippines are toxic to corals. They went looking for reef-friendly alternatives but these weren’t easily available locally. This was unfortunate as the Philippines sits at the heart of the Coral Triangle. To help protect the coral reefs and ocean life, they then took on the challenge of developing a locally made reef-safe sunscreen.

MAGWAI started with Reef-Safe Sunscreen, which aims to reduce the chemical pollution that is harmful to corals. Their search for ocean-friendly alternatives has also led them to develop more products that show some love for the marine life instead of causing harm to it such as plastic-free Shampoo Bars multi-purpose towels made of recycled plastic bottles.

As of November 2022, MAGWAI has sold 25,700+ Shampoo Bars which is equivalent to reducing ~90,000 100mL plastic shampoo bottles from the landfill / oceans.
