Abstract
Slums are the city's estranged sections, hence they have never previously been promoted as tourist attractions. Tourists now travel to these locations in search of unique experiences. Additionally, a brand-new category of tourism known as poverty tourism or "slum tourism" has emerged. The purpose of this study is to clarify how residents of these locations describe their communities and their attitudes toward tourists. The study preferred qualitative research, and the data collection method employed was the interview methodology. 29 participants from Isla Reta, Davao City provided the study's data, which were then evaluated using the qualitative data analysis application NVivo. According to the findings, locals described Isla Reta as a location with a lot of crime, poor structure, and people who come to take pictures but who are treated well by the locals.
