What are the negative/positive impacts in of tourism in the Philippines?

What good practices from a cultural perspective being undertaken by organizations within the tourism and travel industry?

Gosh....I've written a whole thesis on this issue. But here's it in brief:

Positive impact:
1- Reasonable foreign currency income for the state.
2- Slight development of tourism infrastructure.
3- Marginal increase in employment levels in industries related to the travel sector- hospitality, travel agencies and tour operators, transportation etc.
4- Sustainance of domestic airlines, charters and to some extent, shipping, to some degree.
5- Better awareness in the Philippines of foreign cultures and traditions, needs of tourists etc.

Negative impact-
1- Sex tourism, with aged foreigners flocking to the country seeking young women as partners. Others come to indulge in pedophile activities.
2- Negligence of environmental considerations in some cases by both, foreign nationals and Filipinos.
3- The government hurries to attract foreign tourists without the existence of a proper tourism infrastructure.
4- Due to the negative image of the Philippines as a corrupt nation, visitors believe they can escape justice easily by bribing law enforcement authorities.

There are many points bu these would require at least a day to list and detail.
