BOHOL island is on a major “run” in tourism, its flagship industry, pushed by the “revenge travel” phenomenon and big investor enthusiasm.
This followed the announcement of an ambitious 57-hectare 10-year P25-billion “resort town” development—a “mini-city” in the heart of the island—developed by the Alturas Group Panglao Shores in Bolod, Panglao. The group already operates the South Palms Resort currently. A damper to this gung-ho atmosphere in tourism, however, is the slump in agriculture where 41 of the 47 towns, so far suffered huge losses due to the extremely warm weather. The onset of El Niño will definitely threaten the water levels in its four water dams, namely, Malinao, Bayongan, Caraga and Zamora.
The telltale signs were seen last April with the nature-induced “ grass fire” across three municipalities that lasted for 16 hours and that gobbled up in flames 200 hectares of grassland.
