2013 as a Promising Year for Philippine Tourism


After the spectacular performance of the Philippine tourism sector last year, with the Department of Tourism citing the success of “It’s more fun in the Philippines” campaign which was launched with much fanfare last year, 2013 is shaping up to be an even promising year for Philippine tourism.
More and more people around the world have started to take notice of the many natural and man-made wonders that the Philippines and its people have to offer, as seen in the increase of foreign tourist traffic last year.  Besides perennial favorite Boracay, an even greater number of tourists have begun to discover the other enchanting getaways of this archipelago of 7,107 islands. 
Even respected international institutions and have begun to take notice of the Philippines’ amazing potential.  Condé Nast Traveller, a respected travel magazine, has named the Philippines as one of the top ten destinations with much promise in 2013. It specifically mentions Palawan as an attraction to watch out for.
With the Filipinos’ famed hospitality and the country’s irrisistable natural beauty, 2013 is gearing up to be a breakthrough year for Philippine tourism, and we hope that you will allow Vigattintourism be your gateway to the many excellent attractions the Philippines has to offer.
