PHILIPPINES: Summit to Sea

The Philippines has a PR problem. While it harbors as many islands as the Caribbean and some of the most spectacular reefs on the planet, the nation sees only a fraction of the visitors of nearby Thailand. Even travel companies, it seems, have bought the bad rap: Other than the occasional sea kayaking trip, U.S. guides have largely avoided the archipelago. But Wilderness Travel has finally gotten wise. This May the outfit will lead clients high into the 4,000-foot Cordillera Central, then deep into the world’s most biodiverse marine environment.

The Philippines is the last ecological frontier and has so much to offer especially islands like Palawan. The best shipwreck diving in the world by far.

Wow, the Phillepeans is absolutely beautiful. I really want to visit the Caribbean for my upcoming vacation. Does anyone know of any recommended hotels to stay in over there?

The Philippines is a great place to visit, and is as safe as most Asian countries, as long as common sense prevails.

Tourism is just one part of the economy that lags behind other countries in this region. One of the main obstacles to progress has been the corruption that has plagued this nation for decades.

The relative obscurity of the Philippines is what makes it a great adventure travel destination. This particular adventure tour company focuses on taking people off the beaten path: http://www.unchartedphilippines.com

Sometimes I consider traveling as part of my routine lifestyle.Because of these beautiful places, Perhaps, the reason for its popularity is because more people have come to realize the benefits of traveling.

[Cagayan de Oro hotels]

WOOW!!! This is a great view! I just love the green mountains. Too bad I can't just travel there from CDO. Check out other Cagayan de Oro hotels too.

[Ho]

Always wanted to go PHP but is it safe there?

[Globe Nomads]

Philippines is a great place and Filipinos are very warm and friendly. However the tourism industry suffers from a number of issues which deters many people from visiting. Precisely due to the low level of tourism, the wildlife and their habitats had remained largely unchanged.

No doubt, Asia is very admirable nature. I live in Indonesia, and I never stopped to say how beautiful God created this nature... you have a very great activity.

Sometimes it's better that wild places not be published too much, especially for the marine wildlife. Too much tourism ruins the wilderness and the authenticity of places as well as the nature itself. A good example for that is the Ladakh in north India.
