    Background of the Study

    Tourism has always been one of the most attractive and interesting kinds of time

    spending for millions of people. It is one of the largest and most dynamic industries in the world

    that derives the economies of many countries. It brings people of different nations together,

    allowing them to come into close contact with each other and learn about customs and

    other aspects of life. It reveals the scenic beauty and past heritage of a country to

    people belonging to other nations.

    Sambawan Island is Biliran’s answer to paradise. White sands thriving

    marine life and warm blue waters lapping up the tree-lined shore is a must for those

    wanting to escape reality. The semi-curved beach with soaring rock formations covered

    with green grass as a backdrop create a bubble of fantasy that you are entering another

    dimension. Sambawan island has a ctark, mountainous coastline and a spectacular

    sunrise, a stunningly beautiful view which will surely melt your heart. Sambawan Island

    is located 5km of the west coast of Marapipi Municipality, south of the Samar sea.

    Sadly, many people are abusing the island as travelers tend ro discover “trash beach”

    because one of the beach coves of the island is absolutely full of garbage. It could be

    because of the tides and currents of the sea that people throwing plastics in other parts

    of the island.
    Statement of the Problem

    Sambawan Island’s water pollution is rapidly increasing because some

    parts of the island is definitely full of trash. Its crystal clear waters have been tainted by

    sewage and garbage.Pollution of our water bodies poses a great threat to humans and

    the aquatic ecosystem. For instance,various human recreational activities such as

    traveling will surely change its perspective because of the garbage pollution.

    SWOT Analysis

    Strength Oppurtunities Weaknesses

    S1: Regualar waste O1: Ongoing business of W1: Low management of

    collection plastic waste collection waste dumping

    S2: Establishment of O2: Compost marketing W2: Lack of government

    recycling O3: Introducing five bins of support

    Centers waste segregation

    S3: Waste Taxation


    Alternative Courses of Action

    The tourism industry encounters big problems such as waste problems, high

    taxation in the industry, increase of mass tourism resulting in straining the

    infrastractures and natural resources. Contructions of hotels, recreation and other

    facilities often leads to increase sewage pollution. Wastewater has polluted seas and

    lakes surrounding tourist attractions. Sewage runoff causes serious damage to coral

    reefs. Travelers or travel bloggers proposed a platform to help us educate about this

    serious matter. We, as travelers who are enjoying the beauty of nature should also

    cooperate in implementing this platform not just in Sambawan Island but also in other

    places. Waste pollution is not a joke. We should take action against this.

    Recommendation

    We recommend to to increase our environmental awareness. We should dump

    waste properly because the pollution is also increasing rapidly. The government should

    also support platforms that is all about preventing wastewater pollution.We should

    discipline ourselves when traveling to contribute in the tourism industry. We, travelers

    should apply discipline when traveling. We should support local businesses, respect

    private properties, don’t abuse public transport, obey local road rules and parking

    regulations and we should also be responsible about waste management.
