Palawan Governor Jose Chaves Alvarez is eyeing to replicate the tourism economic model of Kota Kinabalu to boost the province’s local economy and generate more jobs and livelihood opportunities for Palaweños.
Poverty incidence, which used to be at 65.02 percent in the province, has dropped under the Alvarez administration to about 55 percent. “Imagine Palawan’s tourism receipts if we can guarantee from 5 to 7 million tourists a year. Every tourist generates jobs for seven Palaweños. Our IRA [internal revenue allotment] of P3 billion would be miniscule compared to the potential tourism receipts,” he said. He noted the province easily lost about P150 billion in tourism revenues in the first months of the pandemic alone due to travel restrictions.
