Abstract Tourism is an important economic driver in Dapa, Surigao del Norte, as it creates jobs and business opportunities but may also affect the pricing of goods and services in local businesses. This study examined the effect of tourism on pricing in terms of accommodation, food, transportation, and operational costs. Using a descriptive research design and a questionnaire distributed to 60 local business owners and staff, the study found that tourism has a moderate effect on pricing, with accommodation being the most affected. Results also showed no significant differences in responses when grouped according to age, sex, and type of business.
