    BENEFITS OF OUTDOOR

    swimming, biking, paddling, etc. It gets their hearts pumping
    and their bigger muscle at work. Such movements expend
    energy, promote cardiovascular and muscular fitness, and
    improve the function of the immune system.

    done outdoors in the natural setting help in making people
    realize the great things that nature provides mankind.

    with others who share the same passion for outdoor
    recreation.

    rest, relax, de-stress or unwind, and revitalized. Nature

    and calming it down. Being outdoors also improve our
    self-esteem, confidence, and creativity.

    at work. “It’s more fun in the Philippines” as the Department of
    Tourism slogan goes. Indeed, it is more fun as well for everyone
    involved in ecotourism activities in the Philippines. It has been
    rewarding for the local folks as ecotourism in the country created jobs
    and other economic activities which have, one way or other,
    contributed to our economic growth.
