Stop the concrete madness – a sustainable alternative
In the name of progress careless destruction of what could be a visitor’s highlight: Tuasan Falls, once a paradise for nature lovers is now a “developed” tourist spot. A concrete road was carved into the unstable flank of the active volcano for easy access, destroying what Camiguin is famous for: its untouched nature.
The result: Never ending landslides are a danger to life and property.
Our Alternative: sustainable eco-tourism inclusive of the local population
- access road to the vicinity of the tourist spot only, avoiding dangerous terrain and harming the mountain
- parking lot at a fair walking distance to the attraction
- shady trails for hikers, mountain bikers and horse back riders
- wheelchair accessible trail for the disabled and elderly
- guided horseback rides and hikes for tourists and their children
- job creation for nearby villagers through sale of local products and services avoiding plastics and other inorganic waste materials
- Minimal destruction of the environment, landscaping with local plants and trees
- Natural beauty to remember
Sustainable tourism addresses the needs of all and profits everyone
