The level of viability of ecotourism in Lobo, Batangas was ‘very high’ with a weighted mean of 3.43. The respondents strongly agreed with a weighted mean of 3.38 to the prospects of growth and development of ecotourism in Lobo, Batangas. Likewise, they agreed with a weighted mean of 3.03 to the myriad of challenges encountered in their involvement in ecotourism. There was a significant difference in their understanding of the viability of ecotourism along marketing aspect, when grouped according to the number of years of involvement in ecotourism and number of trainings attended in ecotourism. The respondents with 5 or more trainings had higher appreciation of the level of viability of ecotourism in the locality than those with 1 to 2 trainings and those with 3 to 4 trainings. Members of the people’s organizations recognize the business prospects and abundant opportunities for growth and development for the community and its residents in the ecotourism sites despite the myriad of problems that beset them.
