I. ABSTRACT
The tourism industry is expanding continuously worldwide to have better economic growth.
One of the Philippines' top tourist destinations is constantly visited because of its scenic view,
and cold weather is Tagaytay City. As tourism in Tagaytay City continuously increases, it also
affects the natural resources of the tourist attraction. One of the biggest problems of the City
of Tagaytay is the vast number of tourists visiting to see natural beauty. Carrying capacity is
one way to limit the damage. This study's main objective was to assess and evaluate Picnic
Grove in Tagaytay City's ability to accommodate tourists. As a result, the physical carrying
capacity of Picnic Grove shows that it is a safe and friendly ecotourism site. In terms of
economic carrying capacity, Picnic Grove is financially capable to operate and to support their
expenses. Social carrying capacity has a positive impact on the community as well as on
tourists. The researchers created a proposed tourism development plan to support Picnic
Grove's physical, economic, and social carrying capacity. The study utilized a descriptive
single-case study approach. The researchers set the criteria for the personnels who work for at
least one year at Picnic Grove Tagaytay, the tourists should be repeat guests of the tourist
attraction and the residents should be living within five hundred meters around Picnic Grove.
The study came to the conclusion that Picnic Grove benefits both the local population and the
tourists.
