“…The model used in this paper advances over those found in the literature as it includes additional features such as minimizing transfers between points since we only considered one vehicle for the tour. We also placed emphasis on the different experiences that a tourist can General [2,4,6], [19,20,21,23], [11,12,13,14,15,16] 12 11…”

“…Marinduque is an island province that is considered as the heart of the Philippines due to its geometric shape and geographic location [17,18]. The province is around 200 km south of the country's capital, Manila, and has a total land area of about 952 square kilometers [19][20][21]. The terrain of Marinduque is predominantly rolling to moderately steep with a mountainous region in the inner portion, and low-lying coastal in the outer part [22].…”

Island day tours have become a ubiquitous inclusion in travel itineraries. Marinduque is one of the Philippine islands where its major tourist attractions can be covered by day tours. This study determines an itinerary of select tourist spots for island day tours in Marinduque. The longitude, latitude of each tourist spot and the pairwise road distances were determined. Every tour was assumed to start and end at the same point, either at Marinduque Airport or at Balanacan Port, and would last for at most 8 h. To determine the optimal route for the different types of tours (general and themed), an integer programming model was formulated. Balanacan port is the point of origin for three of the four identified tours. The general tour is the ideal choice for those who want to maximize theme diversity. The history-themed and church-themed tours are covered in at least three of the four tours. All tours ran from 7.5 to 8 h. All themed-tours covered their themed points except for the cave-themed. All points except one were visited in at least one tour. Three of the four pilgrim points were visited in all tours, while the cave sites were only visited in the cave-themed tour. The results of this study are beneficial to the community of Marinduque, as these will contribute to the tourism management plan of the province. The model may be extended to consider other tourist destinations.
