Business opportunities in Palawan

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

The strong emphasis on preservation of marine and forest life discourages businesses that are extractive and polluting in nature.  However ecotourism brings in a lot of dollars and livelihood to people of Palawan:    there is growing number of hostels, inns, restaurants, transport vans.  I would say that the activity is as frenetic as in Thailand.  The growth of tourism in Palawan would probably at this point exceed that of Cebu and Bohol but may be equal that of Boracay.

The emphasis would be HRM activities, renewable energy, non polluting industries, service industries.  Thus fast food, malls, health services are increasing in number.
