Abstract

ABSTRACT: Guimaras is located in the Western Visayas Region of the Republic of the Philippines. It is a young, small state with windy and sparsely populated populations, rarely preferred by foreign tourists for holiday. Guimaras is home to tourism attractions unique to this province, such as the Taklong Island National Marine Reserve, one of the country's most fascinating marine protected areas, and the "Trappist Monastery", the country's only Trappist belief center. In terms of administration and management, Guimaras Province consists of 5 districts and 98 Barangays and does not have any urban settlements. As famous as Palawan, as populous as Cebu and not as popular as Boracay, this small province is one of the least known and least visited destinations in the Philippines, but it also has a high level of tourism potential. The purpose of this research is to carry out the scientific promotion of this little-known and little-researched state in terms of international tourism by examining its geographical features and tourism potential. Guimaras, despite its unique charms, has not taken its rightful place in the national and international tourism market. In this study, the geographical location, natural and human geographical features of Guimaras State and the main tourism resources are discussed. The rich tourism resources, interesting tourism centers, historical attractions of this small province have been examined in detail and the tourism potential of the island and its portrait from the perspective of tourism have been revealed.

ÖZ:, Filipinler Cumhuriyeti'nin Batı Visayas Bölgesi'nde yer alan Guimaras, yabancı turistlerin nadiren tatil için tercih ettiği genç, seyrek nüfuslu küçük bir eyalettir. Guimaras, ülkenin en büyüleyici deniz koruma alanlarından biri olan Taklong Adası Ulusal Deniz Koruma Alanı ve ülkenin tek Trappist inanç merkezi olan "Trappist Manastırı" gibi bu eyalete özgü turizm merkezlerine ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Yönetim ve idare açısından Guimaras Eyaleti 5 ilçe ve 98 Barangay'dan oluşmakta olup herhangi bir kentsel yerleşim yeri bulunmamaktadır. Palawan kadar ünlü, Cebu kadar kalabalık ve Boracay kadar popüler olmayan bu küçük il, Filipinler'in en az bilinen ve en az ziyaret edilen destinasyonlarından biri ama aynı zamanda turizm potansiyeli de yüksektir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, az bilinen ve az araştırılan bu devletin coğrafi özelliklerini ve turizm potansiyelini inceleyerek uluslararası turizm açısından bilimsel tanıtımını gerçekleştirmektir. Guimaras, eşsiz cazibesine rağmen ulusal ve uluslararası turizm pazarında hak ettiği yeri alamamıştır. Bu çalışmada Guimaras Eyaleti'nin coğrafi konumu, doğal ve beşeri coğrafya özellikleri ve başlıca turizm kaynakları ele alınmıştır. Bu küçük ilin zengin turizm kaynakları, ilginç turizm merkezleri, tarihi mekanları detaylı olarak incelenerek adanın turizm potansiyeli ve turizm perspektifinden portresi ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
