RATIONALE: 

Amid mountains, coves and beaches fronting the West Philippine Sea,
participants, supporters and guests of the Philippine Kayaking Series have
enjoyed the hospitality of Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club for the past
two seasons. Members enjoyed as well the spirit of victory and camaraderie

at the end of the day. The Club proved to be the perfect host. Hence, this gives

a good opportunity to spread goodwill and experience nature in one of its best.
The global trend towards natural, sporty and healthy lifestyles give the
environment-friendly kayaking an edge in developing a sustainable thrust
to ecotourism and adventure travel.

Being the second largest archipelago with 7,100 islands, the Philippines is
underway as a kayaking mecca with its natural formations and extended
coastline. Water is our element.

The sport became one of the fastest growing sport particularly when the
Department of Tourism embarked on its Adventures Philippines Campaign,
tapping the PKS 2009 in collaboration with private companies, the media,
provincial and local government units.
