As the Philippines strengthens its commitment to sustainable tourism, more local government units (LGUs) are encouraging resort developments to protect the country's natural landscapes. In many island and eco-tourism destinations, developers are required to use less invasive accommodation structures that preserve forests, coastlines, and natural terrain instead of permanent concrete buildings.
