   Sipalay City is a city where it is possible to reach beaches that are only a short trip from the city main, where waves that can be surfed, where beaches and islets are among the top tourist destinations, where diving spots are nearby, where locals are friendly and hospitable, and where beachfront resorts are accessible. Sipalay city is indeed a sanctuary for relaxation.
   5 things that I can see as the major success could be the economic recovery of Sipalay after the pandemic times, the influx of tourists since there are newly opened and additional to the current list of resorts in Sipalay, the presence of digital marketing as a platform where bloggers/vloggers can help a lot for the features that encourages tourist to visit Sipalay and aside from the beaches that Sipalay can offer it has also caves where tourist can go to and visit. Sipalay city had backed the global campaign to promote ethical and sustainable ecotourism destinations.
   On the other hand, these are the 5 major obstacles that I can see is the poor signal of telecommunications company in some areas in Sipalay where it has limited access especially to the internet connection, there are some areas and resorts which have limited source of electricity there is a cut off time of electricity every 6 pm onwards and then rely to the generator that is actually turned off every 12 midnight, these are the considerations that must be emphasis that there should be an alternative with regards to this matter since there are tourist who are staying at the resorts and beaches. The management on the other hand, should provide an investment in solar panels which can be beneficial to them for their long term operations and the location of Sipalay where mostly typhoons passed by where livelihood and resorts are greatly affected.
   Since there are influx of tourists visiting Sipalay city, waste management should be maintained and managed spearheaded by the LGU of Sipalay City. This should be controlled since it will be beneficial not just to the people of Sipalay but to the whole island as well and its inhabitants. – Bryanne Marie M. Abriola

   Sipalay tourism is on the recovery after COVID-19. The advantages of creating a new business in Sipalay are the following:
   1. The beaches in Sipalay are naturally beautiful. The place is very scenic.
   2. The Local Government of Sipalay is encouraging the opening of new businesses in the area and is very welcoming to tourists since it is one of their major sources of income.
   3. Sipalay is attractive to customers who love outdoor activities like diving, snorkeling and beach hopping.
   4. Sipalay has also a very scenic and beautiful Poblacion area where tourists can dine and have fun.
   5. If customers prefer relaxation, Sipalay can offer that since it is not as crowded as other places with beautiful beaches.

   However, there are also disadvantages 1. Sipalay’s beautiful beaches are located in the southern most part of Negros which would take 4-5 hour drive. This would somehow discourage some customers because it will take most of their time and instead they would prefer beaches nearer to them.
   2. It has no social nights at the beach for those who love the nightlife offered by other beach destinations.
   3. Sipalay has a limited internet connection. There are areas in Sipalay with poor internet connectivity or even dead spots which might cause problems for tourists.
   4. Finding local employees who are experienced and well-trained might also be a difficulty.
   5. The beach resort business in Sipalay is already saturated. If you would like to open a new one then you should have something different to offer than the others to attract customers.

   Five Major Success factors in propagating Resort Business in Sipalay City

   1. As a tourist myself, I have been there in Sipalay during our vacation get away. One thing that I noticed was that, there are only few well established businesses there. Meaning, Small and Medium Business Enterprise including Resorts will have a great opportunity in starting their resort business in Sipalay City without fear of engaging in tight competion from well established companies which have bigger budgets.

   2. Given that Sipalay City is not deemed as highly urbanized, there businesses could have a fair share of introducing new products to potential customers or shall we say prospective target market. Another consideration that might brought up by this factor is the opportunity to encourage interested investors to co-finance ideal resort business in order to materialized their target business proposal.

   3. Since Sipalay City is not fully regarded as higly urbanized, one of its positive effect is the opportunity to introduced new materials which are complimentary with the growing usage of internet. Also, I believe that this is an important consideration upon choosing prospective products that will be introduce in the resort business in Sipalay.

   4. In considering, this is also one important factor to consider in putting up a resort business in order to understand the desired target market as to how many percentage are the average city tourists of Sipalay, the surging interests of tourists, the average scale of market population and as well as the lifestyle of such market cluster.

   5. When it comes to the preservation of the natural beauty of Sipalay, when engaing in a Resort Business to be it is important to know it there are existing laws/legislations that protects the preservation of the area since the uniqueness of natural beauty is an eminent factor that attract tourists.

   Five Major Obstacles in propagating Resort Business in Sipalay City

   1. Since Sipalay City is located in the southern farthest southern part of Negros, the target market is primarily concentrated on tourist customers. Therefore, it might be an obstacle when it comes to the existing customer based and thus, it may imply limited finances when it comes to investment.

   2. Another possible obstacle that business owners will experience is the regulated modification of Resort infrastructures due to the existing environmental laws that may restrict establishments including Resorts. So to say, this may have an impact as to how Resort Business in Sipalay will be develop. Hence, it may imposed adherence to the said environmental laws.

   3. Selection of enthusiastic employees will also be an obstacle. Knowing that running a Resort business entails owners to choose enthusiastic and proactive employees that will help the planning, operation and as well as the maintenance of Resort Business. Thus, manpower is an important factor as to how a particular business survives. Moreover, new products which are complimentary and might help in the promotion of the Resort is also an obstacle when it comes to budget, innovation and the scope of market area.

   4. Consumer or market confidence might be another obstacle when it comes to possible business competition especially in the early years in Resort business. Resort owners must try to figure out on how they should project their identity from the rest, knowing that there are many resorts that may cater tourists in Sipalay.

   5. The growing use of internet might also be and challenge or rather an obstacle especially to tourists who are particular in network communications including those who engage in official business trips. In addition, there are other areas in Sipalay which are considered as dead zone which means that network signals are rarely existent. This will be a big to business owners including resort owners as to how they may look for solution or probably alternatives that might suffice the needs of the customers.

   There are internal and external factors that the tourism sector can use to strengthen its competitive edge and pinpoint prospects for future growth. Here are the success factors which can be beneficial to the growth of the business. Some of the advantages includes: The Convenient Location, Sipalay is in the close proximity to Negros Occidental. The travel there by bus takes around 4-5 hours, while by private vehicle it takes about 3-4 hours. It’s also a short driving distance to the city’s well-known attractions, such as Tinagong Dagat, Campomares Bay, Punta Ballo, and the Sugar Beach. The is conveniently situated on the edge of the city, giving its visitors access to a clean and safe environment and reduced traffic congestion. Second the Amenities, Sipalay City Tourism provides a wide range of amenities and services which offer its tourists and clients the convenience and support them need during their stay or visit. Third, the Tourist’s Experience, Experience is one of the most important factors affecting positive tourist behavior such as loyalty and personal recommendation. Customer satisfaction can give businesses in the hospitality sector significant competitive advantages, which can subsequently contribute to growth and increased profitability. Sipalay City is a completely local entity that can meet the needs of both domestic and international visitors to the highest standards. It also has a wide range of activities to offer tourists, including beach hopping, snorkeling, scuba diving, relaxing on the beach, and experiencing the local culture. Forth, the Local and International Tourist. The Sipalay City Tourism has the capacity to accommodate both local and foreign tourists at the same time. Lastly, the Employment Opportunities. The bigger the business requires bigger number of people to run various operations. They hire a variety of people ranging from security guards, cook, waiter, and call operator to HR managers, and executives. That’s create employment opportunities for many people depending on their qualifications and capabilities.

   While, here are the obstacle factors which can be detrimental to the growth of the business. Some of the obstacles include: First, Depending on the Tourism and Seasons. The tourism would depend on the advent of tourists and seasons. This seasonality and dependence on tourism is the key obstacle of the industry. As an example, the COVID-19 pandemic has simple demolished the tourism sector. Pandemic has affected the hospitality industry like hotels and restaurants the most. The longer it lasts, the more it will affect the businesses. Second, Ineffective branding, Sipalay City is a stand-alone city’s tourism unlike its competitors, which have international brand recognition. The City is not as widely known in the general marketplace in locally and internationally, although the city engages in extensive marketing and promotional activities. Third, High Cost Structure. The setup expenses of putting up a resort is huge. It takes a lot of effort and money to build up and then run and manage the same. Huge investment and operational costs are key obstacles. Forth, Huge Tax Rates. Resort industry is subjected to an unfair tax structure which, in turn, takes the cost of offering hospitality services to a whole new high. Lastly, more funding is required for emerging technologies. Resorts has to invest more money in technology to integrate the processes across the board given the scope of expansion and many geographies the firm plans to enter.

    Sipalay City belongs to those beaches with their well known white sands and clear blue water.
    Being far from the noise of the city was also the reason why people keep on visiting their beaches.
    The resorts offer Friendly budget activities, rooms and cottages.
    They even cook and serve delicious meals to the tourists.
    Very affordable fresh seafoods are displayed and sold to the market.

    Downside in visiting Sipalay,
    If you are living in Bacolod City , the travel time would be 3-4 hours depending on the transportation you choose and it’s time consuming but worth the travel.
    Tourist should be more physically fit to reach different beautiful views of Siplay City beaches.
    You have to bring your own vehicle to maximize your visit.
    During pandemic, those who do not have their own vehicle was asked more requirements to enter the city.
    The convenient stores are from the resorts so it is highly recommended to bring your foods before going to the resort.

    Sipalay City will be a great successful tourist spot soon. It will be a go-to visit not only for the Negrosanon, or the Filipinos but also for the foreigners. The Majestic and serene place is one of the big factors of this success. I have been to Sipalay a few times already and I see how peaceful the place is, it is like an emotional recharge when you visit that place. Also, the place is limitless when it comes to beautiful spots, for Genz they call it “instagramable”, that’s why I miss wearing swimwear there again and taking a lot of photos.
    The place also has a rich culture, and one of those is the celebration of their festivity. The place is not yet fully urbanized, therefore they had reserved the place traditionally.
    I also notice how friendly the people in that place. They are accommodating and kind to the guests.
    When it comes financially, you wouldn’t spend that much, excluding transportation. The accommodation of the place is not expensive, it is yet reasonable. Therefore the place is budget-friendly.

    The pullback of this success of this place is that some area needs roadway improvement, some resorts are far, and Lucky for you if you have a nice car, a rough road is a bit troublesome.

    Some travelers are having a hard time locating or taking directions because they lack signages at some places if you don’t know how to use direction apps such as google Maps you have the possibility of getting lost.

    The place has limited convenience stores, I mean sari-sari store can be a good replacement but I didn’t notice any other convenient store along the way, it is quite essential for some travelers. Especially if you are coming from Bacolod City to Sipalay, you might need some quick stops along the way.

    Also, the night in Sipalay is peaceful but it’s also dull, a little bit of fun at night at some place can make a little bit of difference, like a party spot.

    Lastly, The place needs more activities for travelers to enjoy, they need more “gimiks” to encourage people to visit the place.

    In total, the place is wonderful on its own. A great place to visit.

    1. Most visited place in Negros Occidental.
    2. Sipalay is popular for their white sand beaches.
    3. To generate a better profit when in its peak seasons such as holidays and summer.
    4.There are many things to do like water sports activities such as diving and snorkeling.
    5. A vibrant neighborhood.
    Enumerating the opportunities factors in investing in a resort in the area can be possible. Also, the location speaks itself and serves as a marketing tool. Opening a business resort can also help the locals in the area.

    1. High operation cost in investing in a resort. Investing a resort needs a big amount of money from the labor costs, utilities and property taxes, etc.
    2. Few customers when not in its peak seasons. This can be one challenge to encounter when its bookings are low due to not its peak season this can affect the income of the resort.
    3. Competition to other business resorts around the area.
    4. A long drive from the place or location. This might be an inconvenient for some travelers although it’s one of the most visited places in Negros Occidental; others preferred nearby places.
    5. Boosting marketing. Having a strategic marketing plan is also the best way to advertise the place or the resort.

    5 Major Success Factors
    1. Beautiful Sand and Seas
    – many of the local and foreigners are looking for something that is closest to their heart one of these are sand and sea that’s why they really spend more for beautiful beaches just to help them exhale stress and pressures of life.
    2. Local Delicacies, Day and Night fun Activities.
    -many tourists also considers local delicacies, day and night fun Activities on their vacation to be something more meaningful and to experience what this place can offer to public.
    3. Culture and Traditions.
    – Mostly of the Filipino has a sub-culture and traditions. That’s why some local tourists and foreigners are very interested to learn something and experience something in a specific beaches. Especially Sipalaynons for being so hospitable, honest and very rich of cultures.
    4. Local Festivals
    – Festivals are very important to Filipino thru festival they would have an overview of their culture and traditions and that’s something very helpful today. We should learn to respect for our individual differences. And this something that could contribute success factora.

    5 MAJOR OBSTACLES
    1. Transportation.
    – in everything we do we always care for the safety of ourselves. And we always include transportation in Selecting Or looking for beautiful destinations.
    2. Lack of Advertisements and Unpublished.
    – many islands and beaches of Sipalay are unpublished due to poor Social Medial Marketing strategies.
    3. Lack of Renovations
    – Many of the Filipinos considers Hotels and Bars as part of their choice to visit Beaches. One part of the room that is not functioning well can break or make the experience of tourists memorable experience.
    4. City Ordinance
    -some part of the cities and municipalities has a city ordinance that can contradicts the day and night fun activities.
    5. Weather.
    -weather has the biggest impact especially in choosing when to travel and do all fun activities with you.

    So these 5 can bring major obstacles if this can’t be solved as early as now.

    Sipalay being new and unexplored is a perfect destination for travel enthusiasts and beach lovers. This is a perfect opportunity for vloggers and bloggers to have their new content. The stress-free and “no-traffic” roads leading to Sipalay is inviting. Not to mention the friendly, Negrense hospitality and affordable but delicious food that’s easy on a budget. You pay for the amenities and accommodations that is way cheaper than other tourist destinations in Visayas. I am telling this by simply reading this article and will surely include Sipalay in my bucket list soon.

    My concern though is that, will the local tourism office be ready for the flock of visitors coming in? The health protocols, the safety of the local and international tourists (are there enough licensed and trained lifeguards, are there enough tour guides that are knowledgeable enough to share the history of Sipalay for further promotion, did the locals embrace the idea that they have a responsibility to take care of their place while practice a subtle authority of making sure that everyone will feel welcome but courteous. Is Sipalay ready for dynamic and diversity of not just personalities, but acceptance and respect for faith, ethnicity, gender preferences and even cuisine? – Eudian Anoyo

    We might be considering focusing on improving the following: First is the location of the resort that you will be investing in, location should be transportational accessible to all aspiring travelers because not all travelers own a vehicle. Second, is the affordable accommodation. We should aim to provide pocket friendly travel to all our guests. If possible we can provide packages that would cater couples, groups or family vacation. Third, is the good food, for all our guests. We must provide one in all stop resorts, so that there is no need for them to buy outside food and drinks for their convenience. Fourth is good accommodation and cleanliness. We will provide quality service to our customers that they would tell a friend about their good experience. Because experience is one of the great advertisements. Fifth is to provide good memories by giving them a lot of entertainment and events. That in every occasion we prepare an event that all our guests can participate in.

    By addressing all these obstacles we could say that we are successful if first we can have guests even though it’s not a peak season. Second, if we are having not only professionals or all employed people but also students. Third is if we are receiving compliments for every food that we are serving to all our guests. Fourth is if they are choosing us because of the good accommodation and clean surroundings. And fifth if they are giving us good feedback about our resort about their stay and their experience.

    The costumes speak of a colorful history. Was the costuming donned in preparation part of some cultural performance. Sipalay seems as an interesting place to visit

    Interesting history you shared with us here esp with how the place got its name. I would love to visit Sipalay – I am in love with the beaches. I like that it’s not so tourist-y yet.

    Wow, this place is new to me but can’t deny myself in going there and already added on my summer escapade list. I wonder if the travel is easy from Manila.

    Looks like there’s plenty of things to do there in Sipalay. I’ve never heard of the city but it sounds beautiful. I am curious about that last beach. I wonder why it’s called Sugar Beach.

    The main attraction here is diving because of its rich marine life. No wonder why most resorts here offer diving activities. Aside from diving, the major draw of tourist in Sipalay are the beaches

    This looks so beautiful! I’ve only been to the Manila airport, but I want to see more of the Philippines, since I’m part Filipino and my family is from there!
