Resum: This master’s thesis explores the sustainability of horse-drawn carriages called the “calesa” as tourist attractions in the selected cities in the Philippines. While several destinations around the world have banned horse-drawn carriages as attractions, the study investigates why the calesa in the Philippines, a horse-drawn carriage introduced during the Spanish Colonial Rule in the country, survives as a contemporary tourist attraction in some cities in the Philippines namely the City of San Fernando (Pampanga), Municipality of Cabagan (Isabela), Tuguegarao City (Cagayan), Laoag City (Ilocos Norte), and Vigan City (Ilocos Sur).
