Because the Philippines is an archipelagic country, its geographic resources mainly include beaches and mountains. There are several ways to book tours of these destinations but the easiest way is to get a tour guide and tour program from several travel agencies. Using the Internet, tourists can simply search for Philippine travel agencies and the query will return several available tourist packages in the Philippines. Visitors can either decide to join a guided tour or hire a tourist guide for their group alone. The tourist guide will be the one to arrange the itinerary for them and make the necessary reservation fees, if applicable. Among the great destinations in the Philippines are Bohol, Puerto Galera and Cebu. In Bohol, visitors can have a tour of the Chocolate Hills. Alternatively, they go diving in a famous white beach resort. During the dive, they can also have the privilege to earn their own professional diving licenses. Meanwhile, in Puerto Galera, they can enjoy the same diving privileges plus the opportunity to watch dolphins and whales. Cebu, on the other hand, had been declared in 2002 as a ""tourism enterprise zone."" The different churches and establishments in the said part of the country reflect much of its cultural heritage. The city is also home to a number of famous Filipino food and delicacies such as dried mangoes and salted fish. Before booking a Philippine tour, visitors are first advised to canvass a number of available options. Some packages may be better than others and may even offer additional services such as hotel lodgings. If time permits, it is best to make reservations at least a week before. If the visitors or tourists plan to stay in the country for a longer vacation, it would be a good idea to consult an online travel agency, and purchase a membership. Membership isn't free, but it can be used to get discounts on different travel packages. |
