However, the increase in tourism has created new environmental problems, such as garbage pollution and a rise in carbon footprints. La Union, a popular tourist location, has comparable problems, emphasizing the significance of evaluating green policies in resorts. The implementation and maintenance of green practices in resorts in La Union are difficult due to policies, management, resource limits, financial limitations, and low awareness. These challenges contribute to the persistence of the tourism industry's negative environmental impact. This study intends to promote sustainable tourism practices in La Union in response to the rising demand for environmentally friendly practices. The study reveals that resorts in La Union have taken actions toward sustainability, aligning with the local government's sustainable tourism goals. To address these challenges, this study proposes educational programs, training sessions, and collaborations with environmental organizations, local communities, and government agencies. These initiatives aim to raise awareness and support resorts in their green endeavors to mitigate the environmental impact of the tourism industry. The research utilizes qualitative phenomenology as its design and involves interviews with five resort employees. Findings indicate challenges related to waste management, guest behavior, resource allocation, and awareness. The study recommends multi-faceted approaches, employee training, renewable energy adoption, use of eco-friendly resources, and ongoing efforts to enhance eco-friendliness. This aims to reduce the environmental impact and promote sustainability by fostering cooperation with local communities, NGOs, and environmental organizations.
