Camarines Sur: Enhancing Tourist Experience with Architecture PART 1. The Problem and Its Background
Chapter I.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW Introduction
Resort hotels are built in the core of natural splendors. According to Charles Gandee, success of such development is determined upon how well the design is united into the setting. No one desires to travel to a far-away place only to be cut off from the splendid environs by an anonymous structure that gives little clue to its locale. What a resort hotel needs to be should take advantage of the site, optimizing the natural assets; a better one should respond not only to to the weather and topography, but to the cultural history of its particular place.
According to research, the hotel industry is beginning to implement green design and construction practices, saving energy, water, and resources and thus helping to preserve preserv e the environment. However, there is the potential for conflict between green building practices and hotel guests' satisfaction satisfaction and comfort, as the conservation of resources resources could reduce the quality of a guest's visitor experience. The study aims to adopt practical strategies in green building for hotels without compromising luxury and service to produce a world class design for the enhanced tourists’ experience.

Philippines with its rich biodiversity, offers attractions that appeals to tourists to visit the country which enhances visitor arrivals for the eight months of the 2014 and reached a total of 3,267,542, with a recorded increase of 2.72% over its previous year’s volume of 3,180,903 for the same period (October 2014, DOT Tourism To urism Statistics). In the province of Camarines Sur alone, a total of o f 1.3M tourist arrivals for the entire Camarines Sur was listed by the Department of Tourism T ourism Regional Office on February 2014. Found in the provincial capitol of Camarines Sur is a 5-ha watersports facility that was tagged as “A Breakthrough in Bicol Tourism Industry” by the National Economic
Development Administration recognized for the increase of tourists coming to Camarines Sur which enhanced the overall standing of the Bicol region region in tourism industry. A lot of tourist has been eager to visit this place, making Camarines Sur one of the most traveled destination in the Philippines. The development of such destinations has been done only 3 years ago, but according to some travelers, the place looks not well-maintained because some facilities are already not in good condition. Hotels near the area has also been a problem for travelers because it lacks good service. Another tourist destination in Camarines Sur is Caramoan Islands. With Gota Village Resort as the foremost development of the provincial government of Caramoan, it was chosen by Top Resa Paris, the largest travel and tourism forum in Europe as the best tourism destination in the world in 2008. It was also during that year that Nature magazine chose CamSur as the best eco-tourism site of the world.
