Originally intended by the former first lady Imelda Marcos in 1979 as a guesthouse for Ronald Reagan, which was the California Governor at that time – who never arrived. The name was changed to People’s Park in the Sky after the People Power Revolution in 1986, which toppled the government of the late President Ferdinand Marcos.
The mansion was built on the highest place of point of Tagaytay City. Having cooler winds and magnificent sceneries, this has become one of the tourist attractions of the city.
Parking fee is P20. Entrance fee is P30 per head. To reach the mansion, you can either ride a jeep or walk up – which I recommend as you will not enjoy the scenic view of the city when you ride a jeep. It is much more fun to walking. It is just a 300-meter walk, even a child can manage to do and of course, walking is good for your heart!
Having breakfast there is not a problem, you can rent one of the picnic huts for only P100 for the whole day. A single cottage can accommodate a family of 4 to 6.
You can also rent their conference hall for P2,500/day, their View Deck which costs P800 per day and/or P500 for a half-day rent, and the Ampitheather which costs P1,500 per day and/or P700 for a half-day rent.
The Palace in the Sky is one of the places in Tagaytay where people can have a good view of Taal Volcano and Taal Lake. Unfortunately, I didn’t have that view during my visit because of the foggy weather.
Despite this, the view from the highest point in Tagaytay City was still impressive.
Statement of the Problem The main objective of this study is to determine tourists purposes for visiting Palace in the sky.
1. Profile of the tourist respondents in terms of :

The proposed approach aims to help organisations evaluate customer satisfaction, and to assist in innovative product/service development through the identification of attributes that are attractive to the customer. A case study is presented to evaluate the image of Singapore from the perspective of tourists from Indonesia. The attributes of Singapore as a tourist destination were analysed. Key strengths and weaknesses were determined. Change strategies and implications that surfaced from the integrated model were discussed.
