    Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2012-2022

    6.4.2 Tourism Departure and Arrival by Type

    Tourism industry has been proven to be a major contributing factor in the


    growth of one’s economy. It is an engine of investment, employment, growth and
    development. Tourist arrivals both foreign and locals reaches 113,399 in 2011.
    However, the average foreign tourist arrival in the municipality for the past 5 years
    accounted for only 1% of the total tourist arrivals in the municipality. To further boost
    the tourism industry in Kawit, tourism-related projects, plans, programs and
    strategies must be implemented.

    6.4.3 Existing and Potential Tourism Area

    Historical landmarks all over Kawit weigh the most in current Tourists’ Arrival
    quantity. Foremost is the Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine which features the vast
    Freedom Park in Barangay Kaingen; seconded by the Battle of Binakayan Site in
    Barangay Pulvorista-Bianakayan; and the Baldomero Aguinaldo Shrine in Bisita St.,
    Binakayan. Volume of tourists is greater for students who are Philippine History
    enthusiasts.

    The density of Local and Foreign Tourists account for those regular visits to
    that most famous cultural landmark in Kawit – The Kawit Roman Catholic Church (or
    the St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church) which was built in 1817 by Spanish priests,
    partially destroyed during the World War II bombings, and at the opening of the
    second millennium – restored to its original greatness and grandeur.

    Another prospective tourist attraction is that proposed Freedom Park


    Extension, with road network as access to the original National Road up to the
    Kawit-Noveleta Coastal Road Project and CAVITEX. Soon to rise on this site are
    leisure and educational parks with ponds, nature-enriched environment, with
    memorials of Philippine heroes stretched by the boulevard. A sure landmark that
    will depict Kawit as it should and will always be – an illustrious historical spot.
