Tourism, a vital global industry, had a brief hiatus but is now booming once more. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), it supports one in 10 jobs worldwide and contributes 9.1% of the global GDP. However, it also accounts for around 8% of greenhouse gas emissions, a figure that could rise to 25% by 2030 if unchecked. Years of experience in delighting people with spaces for distinct leisurely experiences have equipped leading property developer Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) to take on the challenges that tourism brings and faces today. Its subsidiary, Ten Knots Group, owner and operator of the famed El Nido Resorts and Lio Estate in El Nido, Palawan, has been at the forefront of world-class resort stays. Sustainable tourism in the Philippines is synonymous with Ten Knots.
