Danjugan Island Nature Tourism Project
(DINTP)

The island allows PRRCFI an excellent opportunity to attain fund sustainability.  DINTP is developed to create nature tourism in Brgy. Bulata with Danjugan Island as nucleus.  It may be fact that interests, i.e, Punta Bulata resort, the Agutaya and Anajauan Islands, private beach properties, were sparked by the success of Danjugan Island.  While it cannot be denied that owners and visitors of these interest areas look at the island as the area’s prime destination, PRRCFI must be opportunistic for the benefit of the DIMRS, DIMRSMB, the POs, and the coastal communities of Brgys. Bulata, Elihan, and Inayauan.  Further, PRRCFI must also be opportunistic for its own fund sustainability as the foundation cannot forever be a beggar with the eventuality of funding faucets drying up.

The core of DINTP is the Danjugan Island Marine Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary.  In the by-laws of PRRCFI, no more that 10% of the island will be developed.  Typhoon Beach Camp is intended for high-end nature tourism with a maximum capacity of 24 pax (annex).  Visitors are to be hosted by trained locals from PRRCFI’s first project area: Brgys. Bulata, Elihan, and Inayauan. Already, there are 6 dive guides (out of the 30 or so residents of Brgy. Bulata trained in scuba diving and marine science by CCC) who can be depended immediately. Recently, Phase 1 of terrestrial BIOME training was conducted on 10 locals including a school teacher.  These persons will be possible nature guides of DINTP as well \as research assistants of DIFREC.
