The City continues to be a major tourist destination in the country. At
the same time, Tagaytay has benefited from the spill over effects of real
estate boom in the greater Metropolitan Manila area and the overall
economic development in Southern Tagalog growth areas of Laguna,
Batangas, Cavite, and Quezon. This part of Region IV has become one
of the fastest urbanizing areas in the country and has turned out to be
one of the country’s major industrial center over the last few decades.
Tagaytay has benefited from regional growth that is essentially a result of
the policy directions supportive of market forces, which saw a rapid rise
in the development of industrial estates, mass housing, leisure facilities,
regional shopping centers, etc.
