“The Philippine experience, as the alluring Secretary Frasco says, should be one of discovery of the Filipino people’s diverse and proud heritage.”
Boracay, Palawan, and Cebu islands have consistently received international recognition as among the world’s best tourist destinations, particularly in the “sun and beach” itinerary.Thousands of visitors flock to the white sands and clear waters of Boracay, thanks to the government’s multi-billion peso island rehabilitation which began in 2018.
The pristine waters of Camiguin, Bohol, Siargao islands, and many more have world-class sites for water sports, diving, underwater photography, and eco-park adventures. I agree with PBBM’s view that the country’s tourist destinations must be made more accessible by improving our “gateways” to welcome international visitors.
I understand our entrepreneurs, both big and small, want to recover the huge losses incurred during the lockdowns in the past two years but we should be reasonable in charging fees for tourist services.
