Rapid rural appraisal of the lake and its watershed was done. The members of FARMC involved in lake tourism, barangay [villages] and city officials, visitors and non-government organizations involved in the lake tourism were interviewed. The institutional capability building and resources provided by the LLDA, local government, and civic organizations contributed to the sustainability of Lake Pandin tourism.
