The study used the ethnography method that identified the agricultural resources found in Tuburan, Cebu. Furthermore, it also identified the benefits of a community’s local resources in the promotion of tourism as well as the challenges encountered which hinder the growth of tourism. The study was conducted in Tuburan, Cebu. There were 20 informants who were chosen through judgmental sampling to provide their personal experiences as to their visit of the place. Simple percentage was used to summarize, analyze and interpret the data.
The findings revealed that coffee, banana, cacao, coconut, and corn are the major agricultural floras in Tuburan, Cebu and coffee was found to have the biggest land area among all the other major floras giving a distinct identity of the municipality, thus coffee has been the motivating factor of the tourist in visiting Tuburan.
