With the Philippines starting to move into the new normal, local tourism is slowly but surely getting back on its feet. For this new world, however, travelers needs to adjust to new factors, and the best move at this time is to do it digitally. But before that, let me share to you some tips when exploring the beautiful country of Philippines.
1. BE LIGHT AS A FEATHER
- Limit the things you carry with you throughout the trip. Most of the things you might require are easily available upon arrival. Just bring basic traveling necessities and your own special personal needs.
2. DRESS FREE
- Casual dress is appropriate all year round in tropical Philippine weather. It is especially ideal to wear clothing in light cotton fabric.
3. BE A CUB SCOUT
- It is a good idea to use a belt bag to put your money, passport and other valuables on the road rather than a bag for safety purposes. Also, make sure to bring photocopies of your passport and tickets just in case.
4. HAVE AN EAGLE EYE
- Be aware of where you leave your bags and other valuables in public places. It might be safer to leave them in your hotel safe.
5. DON'T BE AFRAID
- Filipinos are very friendly and welcoming people. Don't be afraid to smile and start conversation with them.
Meanwhile, The shift to digital transformation is crucial to the survival of our industry. As more of our destinations reopen, the PWA will be regularly updated to reflect the latest information. Upcoming improvements include a booking platform and other features to assist tourists in every step of their journey as they travel around the country.
There is no other destination on the planet quite like the Philippines. Through the Travel Philippines PWA, we remind ourselves and the world of that right in the palm of our hands.
