Ecotourism is one key growth strategy of the Philippine Government. Expansion of ecotourism is often challenged by untapped natural resources and unique cultural/heritage assets. This situation is aggravated by the literary deficit where one important aspect has been often overlooked—the maintainability of small/medium-scale enterprises once in place at the local level. This paper explores and understands the sustainability of the TANAW de Rizal Park, an ecotourism enterprise of a fifth-class municipality. Based on a case study design, the paper delineates circumstances to fathom out local ecotourism development. First, leadership is top-down driven, but the bottom-up manner is more significant to ensure sustainability. Second, financial issue is complicated thus, the ideal is to continue the operation of government agencies and integrate commercial businesses. Third, the traditional Holy Week events are the town’s single-month focal point, thus extending supplementary activities on a regular and all-year-round basis can boost continued revenue. Fourth, the park is strategical if connected and/or associated with neighboring towns and nearby natural resources. Lastly, the park’s strengths are anchored on its unusual intermixing of assets, while its weaknesses are the risks of becoming a “white elephant project.” Keywords: local government, Rizal municipality, small/medium-scale ecotourism, sustainable ecotourism ID: 3486349

This methodology was developed to contribute to the improvement of the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme's legal work. It is designed to facilitate the use of the “diagnostic tool for identifying the barriers to implementation and/or enforcement of laws and regulations relevant to wildlife”. The SWM Programme is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS), which is funded by the European Union (EU) and co-financed by the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). It is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of four partners with expertise in wildlife conservation and food security: · Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) · Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) · French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) · Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) For further information: www.swm-programme.info
