                                      CHAPTER 1
Rationale
       One of the industries that has been heavily affected by the COVID-19 outbreak is the
tourism sector. The World Tourism Organization estimates that 100 to 120 million jobs could be
at risk due to the shutdown of borders, airports, and hotels, as well as limits on big events, land
travel, and related services globally. According to Skare et al. (2021), the COVID-19 pandemic is
distinct from prior crises that the tourism sector has faced, hence the recovery of the organization
will take longer than the average anticipated recovery period of 10 months. Aside from that, Bakar
& Rosbi (2020) revealed that the COVID-19 causes public panic, which lowers demand for the
tourism industry.
       As stated by Rahman et al. (2021), the COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant effect on
perceptions of travel risk and management. However, Sharma et al. (2021) claimed that utilizing
such inclusive resilience as government response, technology innovation, local belongingness, and
consumer and employee confidence, the travel and tourism sector may change into a new global
economic order characterized by sustainable travel, society’s wellbeing, climate action, and
community involvement. Vaccines have also been created to stimulate the body's immune response
against diseases that helped travelers or tourists have access to many places. Researchers
documented that vaccination propels tourism participation. The results provide essential insights
for the recovery of the tourism industry. (Garcia & Pino, 2022).
       Considering that the tourism sector is one of the largest and fastest-growing industries
globally; thus, a significant effort should be made to proactively address tourism in order to help
the industry recover socio-economic stability after the pandemic. Innovative solutions focusing on
safety and sanitary precautions, as well as the unity of medical facilities in order to exceed the
expectations of the public. (Andjela, n.d.)
       People enjoy traveling because it gives them the opportunity to discover new things, make
memories, and develop new insights about the world. According to Divisekera & Nguyen (2018),
foreign ownership, followed by market competition, business size, and environment, are the main
institutional factors. The findings offer unique ideas on the purpose and results of the various inputs
as well as related institutional elements that motivate innovation efforts by tourism enterprises.
Travel can be a valuable tool for innovation in the tourism industry. By exposing industry
professionals to new ideas, cultures, and practices, it can inspire creativity and lead to the
development of new and innovative products and services.
           The primary goal of innovation is to improve customer service, products, and customer
satisfaction. Because company success is strongly linked to innovation, its goal is to improve
customer service and loyalty, increase productivity, reduce costs, and create opportunities in the
face of each challenge. In organizations, innovation is frequently viewed as a solution and a source
of value creation. As a result, organizations use innovation to gain a competitive advantage. The
positive outcomes of service innovations increase customer satisfaction. In fact, it is necessary to
improve and increase the quality of services through innovation. It is important that customers are
satisfied when they receive what they expect, because customer satisfaction is an important path
to ensuring the success of new services. (Cabral & Marques, 2020).
           Meanwhile, a large body of literature has focused on fresh and innovative ideas. Many
studies have inquired into technological innovation, hygienic and safety measures, addressing
elderly needs, and the quality of services. Nevertheless, although there were many studies
conducted about fresh and innovative ideas, there were no studies published unveiling the
innovation in some resorts, to be specific, the Tanaw Farm & Resthouse. This study will endeavor
to unveil innovation by means of transportation, cost, and staff’s services on the tourists in Tanaw
Farm & Resthouse. Innovation is the key to success, especially in the tourism industry. In
accordance with MySmartJourney (2022), to increase efficiency, control expenses, and maintain a
competitive advantage, the travel and tourism industry must consistently implement innovative
tactics.
           In this study, the researchers aim to unveil the innovation by examining the level of
satisfaction and experience of the tourists at Tanaw Farm & Resthouse. It allows the tourist to
express their satisfaction and experiences with the services and products of Tanaw Farm &
Resthouse. The purpose of this study is to determine how well the TanAw Farm & Resthouse
service management has innovated to meet tourist satisfaction and expectations. in order for the
owner to know how to improve its service management. This research will be helpful to everyone,
especially to future tourists who are first-timers and also to business owners in the tourism industry,
so they can be aware of their customer satisfaction. The researchers will conduct this research at
TanAw Farm & Resthouse to accumulate the survey responses of visitors and tourists to Tanaw
Farm & Resthouse.
Theoretical Framework
       The figure above shows the theoretical framework used in this study. In 1980, this theory
was developed by Richard Oliver and called "Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory." It explains
why customers' satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the services depends on how well the services
perform in relation to predetermined performance standards. According to the theory, predictive
expectations are the predetermined standards of the customers. As a result, there are three possible
results from the comparison for this theory. The first is positive confirmation, which happens when
a business concentrates on its output rather than comprehending the predetermined expectations.
The "zero" confirmation comes next. It takes place when a business exactly matches its customers'
expectations. Last but not least, negative confirmation happens when a business's performance falls
short of its customers' expectations and results in unhappy or unsatisfied customers. (Oliver,1980)
       When innovative products or services become available to consumers and the company
changes how consumers perceive its ability to meet their demands, innovation results in customer
satisfaction. As stated by Purwanto (2022), organizational citizenship behavior has a significant
impact on performance, organizational citizenship behavior has a significant effect on satisfaction,
innovative work behavior has a significant result on job performance through satisfaction, and
innovative work behavior has an outcome on performance through satisfaction.
In addition, the study by Hollebeek and Rather (2019) revealed that customer satisfaction,
cocreation, advocacy, and behavioral loyalty intent are all significantly affected by the
innovativeness of the services provided.
         Conceptual Framework
Feedback
          This study aims to examine the satisfaction and experience of the tourist in Tanaw Farm
& Resthouse. Thus, answering the following questions to support the claim:
Hypothesis
       The researchers used the following hypotheses by appropriate statistical treatments in terms
of a level of significance.
H01: There is no significant effect on the tourist satisfaction and experience when visiting and
experiencing the Tanaw Farm & Resthouse products and services
H02: There are no significant factors and relationship between the demographic profile of the
respondents and the satisfaction level of visiting the Tanaw Farm & Resthouse in terms of
transformation, cost and staff services.
Scope and Delimitation
This study focuses on the tourists at Tanaw Farm & Resthouse in the month of February 2023. Out
of 110 tourists at Tanaw Farm, 86 of those who have already experienced the services will be
chosen to be the respondents on the survey prepared by the researchers, and it will be conducted
at Tanaw Farm and Resthouse located in Sitio Balagbag, Bulacan, because aside from the fact that
it is very convenient for the researchers, there are many tourists who visit there.
The general intent of this study is to narrow down the effects of tourist experience and satisfaction
at Tanaw Farm and Resthouse, Mt. Balagbag, to the tourists' choice when visiting as well as gain
a better understanding of why tourists choose to visit Tanaw Farm and Resthouse in order for the
owner to innovate its services.

                                       CHAPTER II
                        REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
       This chapter shows the review of related literature, which will help to unveil the
service management of the innovation tourism industry as well as the role and effects of
tourist experience and satisfaction. The gathered information in this chapter will be useful
in providing knowledge to the readers and a better understanding of the present study.
       Both local and foreign conceptual literatures adduced in this section address the
different ideas, concepts, generalizations, conclusions, and also the different
developments related to the study of service management of innovation as well as the
effect of tourist experience and satisfaction starting from the past up to the present.
Moreover, these conceptual literatures help in familiarizing one with details that are
opposite and similar to the present study.
       To begin with, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said that the Philippine tourism
sector needs fresh and innovative ideas to bring back the enthusiasm of local and foreign
tourists because new ideas and innovation could bring back the confidence of the people
so they will be encouraged to explore the best destinations in the country. President
Marcos also highlighted that the 107 million Filipinos are the country's greatest asset.
They are a young, well-trained workforce who are as kind, as hospitable, and as gracious
as you will find anywhere in the world. Those are the people he wants to reintroduce to
the rest of the world. He also said that resort areas and tourist promotion must be actively
pursued. (Philippine Information Agency, 2020).
       One of the major drivers of the Philippine Economy is the tourism sector.
Zaldarriaga, (2023) said that the pandemic emergence had a negative impact on
employment and income creation in the tourism industry due to the closure of numerous
businesses. Nonetheless, it is also mentioned that the Philippines will continue to step up
efforts to strengthen its gates in terms of system administration, effectiveness, as well as
interior improvements to portray the "Filipino brand".
       More collaboration between the public and private sectors is important to support
tourism-related initiatives because a destination might rely greatly on the satisfaction of
tourists, their memorable experiences, and their ease of access. (Zaldarriaga, 2023)
       In contrary to what Zaldarriaga said, Remo (2020) reported that the efficiency of
service management in hotels and resorts, as well as other tourism-related industries, did
not budge when directly hit by the significant preexisting challenges of community
quarantine. To handle those difficult circumstances, the Philippine Hotel Industry relied
on fresh approaches, innovations, unwavering commitment, and a healthy dose of hope.
These new ideas are being used and implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of
their tourists while also improving their experience and satisfaction, and this can be seen
by the adoption of a number of the country's major hospitality-related businesses,
including Marriott, Sheraton, and Conrad Manila.
       Furthermore, when nations shut their borders and weakened their economies in
the battle against Coronavirus, the pandemic crisis dealt this high-flying industry a severe
blow within a few months. This article explores the range of concepts, their rise and
reinvention, and the implications for smart cities. Glasco (2022) stated the "six A's of
successful destinations," which were first described in a research paper on smart tourism
destinations. Aside from that, other studies revealed that smart tourism refers to the use
of technology and innovation to "facilitate the visitor's experience through a digital
platform," and all companies related to the sector should be connected to the digital
infrastructure.
       But as part of Gen Z, or what people would like to call this generation that
prioritizes technology, people tend to escape from technology by traveling to rural places.
Ergino (2022), elucidates that, in spite of the idea that we live in a country where there is
already advanced technology, people love adventures, which is why hiking has been an
activity that has slowly captured the interests of people around the country. Mt. Balagbag
is still the perfect place for the people who want to escape and see a mesmerizing view
despite the security concerns regarding hiking this mountain because of theft incident
reports in 2014 and 2017; nevertheless, the mountain continues to attract thousands of
tourists as the year goes by up until now.
       Since tourism is the main economic activity, Azizova (2020), explained that
employment and economic growth in society arise. Tourism has a great impact on a lot
of important economic sectors, like transportation, hotel and restaurant services, trade,
construction, the production of consumer goods, and many others. Such innovations are
put into practice, which increases funding and tourism activity. Overall, in the majority
of industrialized countries over the past 20 years, the finance mechanism for tourist
innovations has evolved into a crucial part of national systems. Four types of innovations
that must be implemented in the business are organizational, technical, grocery,
managerial, and mark. Organizational innovations deal with the growth of the company.
Technical innovations are prompted by the introduction of cutting-edge technologies.
Grocery innovations refer to the variety and quality of the product.
       Gador (2019), revealed that amenities, facilities, and services were evaluated in
terms of satisfactory levels, including customer influences. The qualities, amenities, and
services differed significantly, with no correlation between customer influences and
difficulties. These industries are relevant in terms of the services they provide to
customers, and the influences of those customers have had a significant impact. In results,
adopting a sustainability development plan is still highly advised in order to expand and
extend more possible local and global markets.
       Cano et al., (2021) also states that different factors that tourist experienced, in
accessibility, physical environment, visitor control, protection procedures, commercial
considerations and tourism staff were expressed by the tourist’s satisfaction. While
visiting tourist destinations, visitors did, however, encounter into some problems with
payments or expenses. Tourism site managers may be able to identify areas for
performance improvement using the information on service quality gaps. Establishments
need a generally constant labor force to enable the adoption of service standards in order
to produce quality experiences. Therefore, poor performance in tourism site management
will have a negative effect on the level of service provided and the intended
competitiveness of a business.
       In accordance with Tugade et al., (2021), mountain tourism has become a popular
form of development in economically disadvantaged regions, and demand is growing. In
the Philippines, a growing number of nature lovers are searching for other adventures,
such as climbing some of the country's mountains. Thus, confirm the growing demand
for outdoor adventure tourism activities and the rapid growth in the associated industry
supply. In addition, mountaineering is a somewhat typical term referring to the broader
field of tourism, sport, and recreation activities in mountainous domains. And it is
essential to understand outdoor adventure tourists' characteristics, including their
motivations, which are crucial for their buying intentions, choices, and behavior. Studies
on outdoor adventure tourists can help adventure tourism organizations better understand
their clients and prompt their outdoor adventure activities. It is also important to cultivate
environmentally responsible behavior to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems and
avoid environmental degradation.
       Just as Dela Vega et al., (2022), revealed that people had a tendency to prioritize
forest resources primarily for their practicality. Because recently the beauty of nature was
given priority above human use. And people more value leisure, recreation, and time.
furthermore, individuals enjoy things like, for example. The exploration of public parks,
mountains, as well as lakes for fishing, hiking, and trekking, respectively. This explains
the rise in demand in order to enjoy outdoor activity. Moreover, outdoor recreation fosters
cultural development, physiological, psychology and social science spiritual and
educational values. It persuades people to adopt positive actions, increase their education
and physical fitness and knowledge of the natural world. And people's participation in
outdoor recreation activities are constantly growing, yet it seems that the management's
financial resources are restricted. As a result, there is a need for trustworthy indicators to
determine how much money natural resources are worth, so the Travel Cost Method
(TCM) was used to determine the recreational value of Consocep Mountain Resort in
Tigaon, Camarines Sur, Philippines. The scenic view and potential adventures offered by
the resort have made it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the municipality.
Swimming and site-seeing are the activities offered, and the collected entrance fee is good
for all three portions.
        Libre et al. (2022) elucidate that when the experience of the tourists at a tourist
destination exceeds their expectations and they are extremely satisfied with the service
they received, there's a big chance that the tourists' will have a stronger intention to visit
the destination one more time. Moreover, tourists' satisfaction affects their intentions to
revisit tourist destinations in the Philippines. In conclusion, the tourists' experiences can
directly predict their interest in returning to the Philippines. Therefore, through the
intervention of the tourist experience, the value received has an impact on tourist
satisfaction when considering satisfaction factors while traveling in Philippine tourist
destinations.
        The tourism and hospitality industries must balance art, performance, and
innovation to achieve success. It is a fact that it is increasing the industry’s demand for
innovation in order to discover and develop new tourism attractions and ventures.
Stakeholders are convinced that the new order that is forming in the tourism sector and
larger hospitality industry simply needs to embrace innovation. It can be achieved by
enhancing product and service innovation, which will be done by providing more variety
in travel experiences to customers who are quality-conscious and have a lot of choices.
Despite the significant role elderly customers play in growth contributions in the tourism
sector, the elderly population still disregards it. Also, the industry's offers of services and
products have not yet fully satisfied the needs of the elderly, which has led to an
underutilization of this market segment's potential. (IvyPanda, 2020).
        For that reason, the demands of the elderly can be met with the support of
appropriate wellness and health programs, facilities, and training throughout the entire
tourism industry. The main purpose of conducting this study is to address the fact that the
elderly makes up a large percentage of those who purchase products and services related
to tourism. Ignoring this demographic group will result in a negative effect on the industry
in general. (IvyPanda, 2020).
        Wang et al. (2022) explicitly stated that in recent years, rural tourism has emerged
as a new way of doing tourism, and as a result of the national development strategy of
rural revitalization, "homestay fever" has spread across China along with the increase in
rural tourism. With the recent growth of China's tourist business, country house tourism—
a customized rural tourism approach—has also arisen. However, as the number of
homestays in rural tourism destinations has increased, issues with homogeneous
competition, simple replication, low-price competition, and other quality development
issues have come to the fore. The study also substantiates that it is necessary to explore
the depth of tourists' perceived value to not just provide for their needs but to exceed their
expectations and realize the high-quality development of country houses.
        Nowadays, many tourists tend to have high expectations when visiting different
tourist destinations and look for new and better services to spice up their stay. That is why
quality service is crucial in this generation. Ming Yeh et al. (2019) argued that it is time
for tourism factories to improve and transform their overall facilities with something
unique and difficult to imitate because tourists have the highest levels of consciousness
of physical and emotional experiences in experiential marketing, and using electronic
media has a big impact in promoting the corporation's image and familiarizing customers
with the operative philosophy of the corporation as well as the characteristics of the
products so that their purchase intentions will be strengthened.
        The study also noted that the tourists in every destination were mostly families
and well-educated young adults, Ming Yeh et al. (2019) proposed that tourism factories
implement more family-friendly interactive activities for the tourists to increase their
intentions of returning.
        To sum up all the collection of information that has been stated so far, the
researchers found out the importance of service management in the innovation tourism
industry to the role and effect of tourists' experience and satisfaction. Even though tourists
have expressed their experience and satisfaction, it is inevitable that they have
encountered some problems in visiting different destinations in countries all over the
world. That is why it is crucial to have knowledge about the customer's expectations for
a service and their perception of what they actually received. In that way, business owners
in the tourism industry can determine where performance improvements can be most
effectively targeted as well as how they can benefit all the tourists.
                                       CHAPTER III
                                   RESEARCH DESIGN
       The Tanaw Farm & Resthouse located in Mt. Balagbag, Rodriguez Rizal. It offers
views of Quezon City, other parts of Metro Manila, Lamesa Watershed, and San Jose Del
Bulacan. To get in Tanaw Farm & Resthouse, jeepney and tricycle are essential, it is only
two rides coming from San Jose Del Monte Bulacan to Licao-Licao end point. It is a
walking trip from Licao-Licao end point up to the Tanaw Farm & Resthouse.
        The researchers gained access to the Tanaw Farm and Resthouse via social media
and other sites. The researchers will then write a letter to the owner of Tanaw Farm &
Resthouse through their Facebook page to get permission to perform the study there. In
order to unveil the resort’s service management and provide knowledge to the owner.
This study will benefit the owner; it will allow not only the owner but also other business
owners to improve their service management and meet tourist satisfaction and
expectations.
       The respondents of this research are the tourists at Tanaw Farm & Resthouse,
those who have been there before and have experienced their services and products.
According to heyplacesph, (2023) Tanaw Farm & Resthouse had a total population of
110 tourist visitors in the month of February. The researchers used Slovin's method to get
the total respondents, which is 86.
       To further knowledge, accuracy, and the avoidance of error, the researchers will abide
by a variety of ethical principles throughout the whole process of this research.
       This study requires the collection of information of the tourists in Tanaw Farm &
Resthouse. Due to this, the researchers will communicate properly first to the owner of
the resort. Likewise, the researchers will appropriately interact with the respondents who
will take part in the process of data collection. In addition, the participants of this study
will be educated and well-informed about the research process and research objectives.
The researchers will also adhere to Republic Act No. 10173, in order to build rapport and
trust. The Data Privacy Act of 2012, which is a manifestation of privacy, was adopted in
the Philippines. Relating to the respondents' private information. Thus, the process of this
study will not cause any harm to the participants with the guarantee of researchers.
       According to the definition of plagiarism, “the act of misrepresenting someone
else's work as your own by incorporating it into your work without fully crediting them"
(University of Oxford, 2005). This is aligned with Philippine Republic Act No. 8293, also
known as the Intellectual Property Rights Act, which provides that an individual shall be
awarded intellectual property rights in connection with his or her intellectual activities.
Moreover, researchers pledge to avoid fabrication or falsification of the results.
Instrumentation
        The researchers will use structured questions, and the survey will be conducted
online. A Google form will be used for those tourists who have already visited the Tanaw
Farm and Resthouse, these instruments will be used by the researchers as a
communication tool to ask structured questions and will be beneficial to attaining valid
and reliable results.
        For the test of reliability and validity, the researchers will use Cronbach’s alpha.
It is a method of evaluating reliability that involves contrasting the covariance, or shared
variance, among the instrument's components with the variance of the whole sample. The
survey questionnaire consisted of nine (9) questions that were related to the topic, namely,
the satisfaction level of visitors to the Tanaw Farm & Resthouse in Mt.

Data Gathering Procedure
       The research went through a lot to guarantee the authenticity of the information
from the study. To begin with, the construction of survey questionnaires was done through
Google Forms for the respondents who have already visited Tanaw Farm. Each of the
closed-ended questions for the respondents was accurately connected to the research topic
and based on the statement of the problem of the research. The researchers assured that
every closed-ended question that was made will remain relevant to the topic The Service
Management of Innovation Tourism Industry. The researchers will then wait for the
confirmation of their research adviser, Mr. Alan Makasiar, and an Fil-xema adviser Ms.
Allyssa Stella that the survey questionnaires to collect information from respondents have
been approved.
       When the survey questionnaires have been approved by Sir Alan Makasiar and
Ma’am Allyssa Stella, the researchers will start gathering data and conduct a survey using
Google Forms for those who have already visited Tanaw Farm & Resthouse.
         The researchers will use the following statistical treatment to represent, analyze, and
summarize the gathered data.
