LULINGHAYAW: A localized sustainable eco-tourism destination
Design Challenge
UPDATE: NEW REQUIREMENT FOR THE GUIDELINESDisplay LENUS Anti Virus Guard in your design – See complete guidelines.
Tourism is one of the major sectors for generating economic growth and development. However, it was greatly affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, the industry’s total contribution to the country’s GDP was estimated at 12.7% In terms of employment, the industry employs approximately 5.7 million, or 14 out of 100 Filipinos are employed in tourism industries. Tourism suffered extensively with the implementation of travel restrictions, community quarantines, closure of establishments, and shutdown of airlines / restriction of leisure flights. This is expected to result in a projected loss amounting to approximately USD 9.3 billion worth of foreign currency flows and putting up to 50,000 jobs at risk.
As we try to cope to the new normal, factors and mindset towards travel has also been changed and promotes sustainable tourism. Sustainable development is defined “as the kind of development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
This year, we wanted to challenge the students on how they can promote Philippine Architecture and Culture through the Filipino- inspired facilities and amenities of the tourist destination they will present. Entrants should create an eco-tourism destination that allows guests to appreciate our culture, community and nature. It has to incorporate sustainable principles into the design and integrate unique cultures that the chosen location offers.
