Iconic Palawan Pictures (Mostly from El Nido)

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship "New ideas create more and better new products and services; create more wealth."

 I am posting some of the memorable iconic pictures from Palawan.  These pictures make it to the brochures and ads.  One of such pictures which show me on the prow of the banca is at large lagoon.  The picture of two rocks at the exit are always shown on visit Palawan ads/brochures

What are the new ideas here:

1.  What are the new places to visit?  If you havent gone to El Nido it is time you should.

2.  Learn how eco tourism is done there?

3.  Find out more about green innovation in Palawan.

4.  For other tourism offices in LGUs, find out how to run tourist packages/tours

                                   It is 9 am and the island tours begin


                                 Helicopter island (look at the silohouette - like an old helicopter)


                                Entrance to the large lagoon


                                  Deep portion of large lagoon

                       That is a live real croc;  can you do this?

Did you get new ideas?  Will you visit Palawan soon?

Does this look like a marketing blitz for Palawan?
