Thank you for your request dated 28 November 2024 at 4:01 PM under Executive Order No. 2 s. 2016 on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for the Planning and design guidelines for resorts.

Response to Request

Your FOI request has been approved.

We have enclosed a copy of the National Accommodation Standards (NAS) for Hotels, Resorts, and Apartment Hotels which you can use as a reference.

National_Accommodation_Standards_for_Hotels - Legal Affairs Service - [email protected]

National Accommodation Standards for Resorts - Legal Affairs Service - [email protected]

National Accommodation Standards for Apartment Hotels - Legal Affairs Service - [email protected]

These documents were issued by the DOT in 2013 to employ a points-based rating system focused on inventory, availability, condition, and quality of a specific facility or service. The standards will help classify hotels, resorts, and apartment hotels. This is part of the DOT’s mandate to formulate and enforce standards for the operation and maintenance of tourism enterprises, prescribing minimum and progressive operating quality and efficiency levels consistent with local and international standards.

We have also attached a copy of the Progressive Accreditation System (PAS) which includes updates on said standards.

DOT MC No. 2018-03_Establishment of the Progressive Accreditation System - Legal Affairs Service - [email protected]

DOT MC No. 2023-0003_Updated Guidelines on the Progressive Accreditation System (PAS) - Legal Affairs Service - [email protected]

Please note that we can only provide some of the information you requested, because the DOT has no jurisdiction over the area where the business will be established, how it will be developed, or its design. These criteria may be consulted with the local government unit where the structure will be established especially when the owner applies for a building permit.
