Lonely Planet, a popular travel guide website that caters to travelers around the world for its unbiased reviews of places to visit listed the Philippine islands as one of the best value destinations, a go-to spot "for those who desire nothing more than to find great, undiscovered beaches, surf the odd wave and eat unique, distinctive food for under $20 a day."
Can’t beat that!
In spite of recent unfortunate events in the country like the Luneta massacre last August with eight HK tourists dead in botched rescue attempt, the Philippines is still in the top 10 Asian destination. It didn’t hurt much even after the tourism department attempt of replacing “Wow Philippines”, the old but succinct slogan, with a new campaign slogan “Pilipinas Kay Ganda”. Well you know the rest is history.
The way I see it, Philippines is really a great tourist destination with so many things to offer other than beaches and open skies. I’ve been asked many times about our country and I’m proud to say we have a lot more than they can imagine...the culture, history, and nature. The people alone will make them smile.
It’s definitely NOT a lonely island. Kaya tara na, byahe na!
