eco-tourism context

Ilanin Forest is split into two SBMA planning districts. The 919-hectare East side is a strict conservation zone with only limited, low-intensity recreation allowed. The larger, 1,224-hectare West side permits medium-intensity development within specific nodes — Camayan Beach, Ocean Adventure, and Zoobic Safari all sit inside it — while the forest cover elsewhere in the district stays protected.

Getting there

Mostly protected forest; recreation concentrated in developed nodes within the district.
