Note: This Information Product is a first attempt to provide guidance in preparing the information needed for the CLUP. As more knowledge is gathered, the IP will be updated. Likewise, updates may be required due to new or changing land-use policies. Furthermore, data will continuously be prepared by the custodians, which may require updates. For the latest update, please check HLURB Homepage: http://www.hlurb.gov.ph/ or contact HLURB: telephone +632 927 2698.

	Step 1: Provide a Background and Identify the Objectives of the GIS Analysis
	Tourism enhances the municipality’s economic development. It is therefore important for municipalities/cities with tourism potentials to properly plan and manage these areas. They should be planned in terms of accessibility and provision of facilities/amenities so that tourists can be attracted to go and enjoy these places of interest. It is also necessary that municipal planners consider the carrying capacity of these tourism areas in order to ensure sustainability. The objective of this baseline is to display existing and planned tourist amenities so that conflicts with other land uses can be determined and the appropriate interventions can be planned at the later stage of the planning process.
	Step 2: Identify the Indicators to Evaluate Objective Fulfillment
	Indicators and planning standards can be found in Volume 2 of the CLUP Guidelines, such as: There should be a minimum of 10-meter buffer zone, along the entire perimeter of each of the clusters or tourism zones, and around the proposed golf course sites; A mandatory beachfront easement along all coastal areas shall be defined at 30 meters from the edge of the beach zone inland perpendicular to the coastline.
	Step 3: Create the Database
	Attribute
	The following attribute tables may be used for this sector. Those in bold are used for the examples SE40 Tourism Attraction  SE41 Tourism Accommodation
	The Custodian of the sector data is the LGU.
	Spatial
	The objects below will be a point or polygon features and GPS will be used to map the location.
	The object will be tourism areas, in most cases a polygon
	The object will be tourism accommodations, a point feature
	Step 4: Analyze the Data
	The location of proposed tourism areas will be overlaid with the Land Use to determine if there are conflicting uses or compatible ones. For example, tourism areas should be located away from causes of disturbance and pollution like industrial areas).
	The location of other facilities with respect to the locations of Proposed Tourist area will be analyzed
	Restaurants
	Fastfood
	Transport Terminal
	Mall
	Parks
	The locations of required utilities with respect to the locations of Proposed Tourism area can also be analyzed
	Groundwater Source
	Step 5: Present the Data
	The location of the accommodations and tourist attractions is overlaid with the base map.
