Amidst the natural splendor of Coron, Palawan, one pioneering resort demonstrates how sustainability and hospitality can work hand in hand.
Opening its doors in 2021, TAG Resort Coron has always had its sights on sustainable tourism – integrating environmentally conscious practices into its operations while looking for ways to support the local community. More than just a destination for travelers, the resort seeks to promote sustainable travel as a means to protect Palawan’s indigenous culture and environment.
Green Accommodations, Elegant Amenities
TAG Resort Coron features 112 rooms with full service facilities, lagoon pools, a commercial strip, a poolside bar, a convenience store, an open-air pavilion, conference rooms, and a ballroom that’s touted to be the biggest indoor event venue in Coron. Its proximity to the airport and the main artery of Coron town makes TAG Resort the ideal choice for travelers, as well as a perfect setting for conferences, meetings, destination weddings and other events, with all the stunning natural vistas of the island only a heartbeat away.

TAG ECO-VISION: A Commitment to Sustainability
Guided by its sustainability framework called TAG ECO-VISION, the resort seamlessly blends eco-conscious practices with exceptional hospitality, ensuring every guest enjoys an experience that’s both luxurious and kind to the planet.
Water conservation comes naturally here, with low-flow fixtures, rainwater harvesting, and innovative leak detection systems working together to minimize waste. Recycled water nurtures the resort’s lush gardens, while guests are encouraged to join the effort through thoughtful towel and linen reuse programs.
Energy efficiency is also thoughtfully integrated into its daily operations, where renewable energy meets 30% of its power needs. Smart room sensors and LED lighting enhance comfort while keeping energy use in check.
Sustainability extends to every corner of the resort. Organic waste from the kitchen is composted to enrich the landscape, and a recycling system helps minimize solid waste. Guests move around the serene grounds in quiet, zero-emission electric vehicles. Rooms are thoughtfully equipped with organic amenities and hygiene kits, while upcycled furniture and décor add charm to spaces that tell a story of creativity and care.
Through these initiatives, TAG Resort Coron exemplifies how eco-friendly practices can elevate guest experiences while setting a standard for environmentally responsible tourism.
Nurturing Local Communities
As part of its sustainable supply chain strategy, TAG Resort Coron also sources its food, supplies and materials locally, as much as possible. The resort proudly supports Coron’s economy and ensures that its operations primarily benefit Coron locals. TAG also maintains its own organic farm – providing its kitchens with fresh, organic produce and ethically raised meat, bringing a true farm-to-table experience to every meal.
Engaging with the Community
Repurposing is at the heart of any sustainability drive. A year into its operations, TAG Resort Coron launched “Handog Tsinelas sa mga Tagbanua” which provides repurposed footwear to Coron’s indigenous communities. It also maintains partnerships with organizations like the Coron Animal Savers – a local animal rescue group which helps care for abandoned and abused domestic animals and wildlife.
A Sustainable Stay
At TAG Resort Coron, guests can enjoy the comforts of modern hospitality while knowing that their stay supports initiatives for the environment and local communities. Whether relaxing in thoughtfully designed accommodations, savoring meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients, or exploring Palawan’s natural wonders, every aspect of their experience aligns with sustainable practices.

“We view every guest as a partner in our efforts to preserve Coron’s natural and cultural riches ,” says Managing Director Stephen Rey Tagud. “By staying with us, they become a part of our sustainability story, and it’s one that we hope will generate a lasting impact and make a difference for Coron.”
Moving Forward Together
TAG Resort Coron continues to build on its sustainability efforts, seeking new ways to integrate eco-friendly practices into its operations and inspire others to do the same. As sustainable tourism gains momentum, the resort remains committed to promoting a future where hospitality and environmental responsibility coexist – indeed, a leisurely oasis designed to work harmoniously with nature and people.
