January 10, 2023 Dear Ma Rose Fritchelle Custodia, This is in response to your request for the following: 1. List of Protected Areas engaged in Ecotourism related activities in the Philippines 2. The areas' profile in terms of location and spatial occupation 3. Criteria for the temporary closure of protected areas Be informed that ecotourism is the form of tourism that is prescribed in all the 248 protected areas in the country. However, not all are actually engaged for lack of ecotourism potential. Attached is a list of the protected areas with active ecotourism activities including the BMB Technical Bulletin containing the protected areas with location and hectarage based in 2013. On your third question, there's no national guidelines stipulating the criteria for the temporary closure of PAs. Closure and opening is vested upon the PA Management Board based on its own rule. Thank you very much! Thank you. Respectfully, National Parks Division Decision Maker FOI Receiving Officer
