Abstract

Tourism in the Philippines continues to develop, supported by policies and activities intended to promote sustainable and inclusive national development (Aquino and Porter, 2022). Tourism has consequently become an important contributor to local economic development. This study explored the potential of Treesome Campsite at Mt. Balagbag in Montalban, Rizal, as a tourist destination. The study used a quantitative research design to assess Treesome Campsite at Mt. Balagbag in Montalban, Rizal, as a potential tourist destination. Quantitative research involves the systematic collection and analysis of numerical data to describe a population or phenomenon. The data were summarized using descriptive statistics, such as means, frequencies, and percentages (Unimrkt, 2023). The results were based on responses from fifty (50) participants who had visited Treesome Campsite at Mt. Balagbag in Montalban, Rizal. The data were analyzed using the statistical tools and research instrument described in the methods. However, the original results section reports only the presentation process and does not provide study-specific numerical or thematic findings. Mt. Balagbag and Treesome Campsite were positively perceived as tourism destinations, particularly in relation to natural beauty, exploration opportunities, and the local community. The study recommended improving accommodation, strengthening safety measures, and implementing more visible environmental-protection and waste-management practices to support long-term sustainability and visitor satisfaction.
