Sustainable tourism requires the development of the economic, social, and environmental aspects of the destination while providing satisfaction and a positive experience to tourists (Alampay, 2005). Sustainable tourism is the aim of the tourist destination of Kilangin Falls in Liliw, Laguna. Employment opportunities are provided to residents to ensure that earnings are retained and the income from tourism activities benefit the local livelihood and industries. People's organizations are formed to create social responsibility and distribution of tourism benefits to the marginalized members of the society. Environmental policies related to the protection of wildlife, reforestation, and management of waste are in place to ensure the least impact of tourism on the environment. Alongside with the economic, social, and environmental initiatives, we aim to provide a positive experience to visitors through a welcoming attitude of the host community and local government.
