The popularity of El Nido as a prime tourist destination in the Philippines resulted in the rapid growth in tourist arrivals
(200,000 tourists in 2018, approx. stays of 2.7 nights per guest) and led to an overall increase of the area’s population
– including locals. El Nido Resorts took up the challenge to address an increasing food demand, while creating
opportunities for the local communities to generate income and engage throughout the food value chain.
