(Photo: Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images ) Related Articles Manila has the dubious distinction of being the densest city in the world, packing in more than 111, 000 people per square mile. Tourists come to the populous Filipino capital for a variety of reasons, from the colonial architecture of Fort Santiago and the Malacañang Palace to fishing expeditions along the Pasig River to the priceless paintings in the Casa Manila museum. While Manila has many hotels, travelers operating on a tight budget have a modest selection of options that balance low cost, comfortable accommodations and tourist-friendly services. The Southern Cross Hotel The Southern Cross Hotel (thesoutherncrosshotelmanila.com) is a privately owned property just one block from the U.S. Embassy, Rizal Park and the Museo Pambata. A hotel shuttle runs to the airport and local points of interest, while an on-site gaming hall has a billiards table that's used for 8-ball tournaments Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. The hotel's restaurant offers both local and Western cuisines, with a special emphasis on Australian dishes. A big-screen TV over the bar shows sports competitions, and most nights feature some form of live musical entertainment. The hotel's 25 guest rooms, which were renovated in 2009, offer a choice of single, double or queen-sized beds, mini-refrigerators and safe deposit boxes. Family-sized rooms that comfortably sleep up to four are available upon request. Casa Bocobo Hotel The boutique-style Casa Bocobo Hotel (casabocobo.com.ph) is within walking distance of attractions like Manila Bay, Ermita Church and the National Historic Institute. Free amenities include on-site car parking, a luggage hold, use of the hotel safe and high-speed wireless Internet access, while 24-hour security and a state-of-the-art fire alarm system top the list of safety measures. The hotel's cafe serves Filipino specialties side by side with continental cuisines, and room service is available. Spacious guest rooms sport a sleek, modern look, and have a hot and cold shower, individual climate control and a flat-screen LCD TV with cable service. Additional room rate discounts are available for those who book at least two weeks in advance. Pension Natividad The Pension Natividad (pensionnatividad.multiply.com) is within walking distance of the Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden, St. Paul University and the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex. Guests are free to enjoy an on-site basketball court, outdoor patio and English-speaking staff with knowledge of the area. The reception desk offers a phone for local calls and safety lockers for guests with their own padlocks. Breakfast is available for an extra fee, and Chowking serves dinner two blocks away. Although private air-conditioned guest rooms with adjoining baths are available, guests who are really strapped for cash can choose the male or female dormitories with shared bath facilities. None of the rooms or dorms have phones or TV sets, although all are Wi-Fi ready at no extra charge.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Best Places]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestPlaces/places-to-stay-in-philippines</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestPlaces/places-to-stay-in-philippines</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Dec 2024 08:29:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Beach Resorts in the Philippines</title> <description>Anda beach resort | Bohol Philippines best white ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/anda_beach_resort_bohol_philippines_best.jpg" alt="Anda beach resort | Bohol" align="left" /><p>Anda beach resort | Bohol Philippines best white sand</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Best Beach]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestBeach/beach-resorts-in-the-philippines</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestBeach/beach-resorts-in-the-philippines</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 02 Dec 2024 08:16:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Best Philippines Beach Resorts</title> <description>One of the all time great Philippine beaches, White Beach on Boracay Island, though a bit overused and undercared-for in places these days, but the water’s still calm and warm, the sand still superfine and ultracool and the ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/breathtaking_philippines_beach_resorts_where.jpg" alt="Breathtaking Philippines Beach" align="left" /><p>One of the all time great Philippine beaches, White Beach on Boracay Island, though a bit overused and undercared-for in places these days, but the water’s still calm and warm, the sand still superfine and ultracool and the prices still low. The Philippines, ‘The Pearl of the Orient’ The Philippines is an archipelago of 7, 107 islands. Combining all its shores would make it one of the longest coastlines in the world. Bugbog believes that these islands contain more of the world’s great beaches than any other country, and low cost too – but it’s just not that easy to get there! Although this has been one of the world’s best beach holiday destinations for many years there is still plenty of undiscovered paradise potential among these lush and lovely islands. The Philippines is a hot and humid tropical country in southeast Asia, populated by attractive, relaxed people and scattered with tropical jungles, hideous cities and glorious beaches considered by many professional travelers to be the world’s top seaside spots. The country costs little to travel in unless you stay at a fancy beach resort, and that’s not necessary as there are plenty of cheap hotels and down market guest houses available. Manila, the capital, is polluted, uninteresting and not short of crime, but you’ll probably have to stop over briefly en route to your chosen island paradise. Unless you have a lot of time you’ll fly and possibly boat (banca) too. Upsides Friendly locals; low-cost travel, accommodation and beach life; sand is perhaps the best in the world – soft white coral sand that never heats up; live coral and marine life is also superb and much loved by snorkelers and scuba divers. Downsides The humidity is a killer; Manila is a grimy pain; the Philippines is not as safe as neighbouring Malaysia; pricey planes and bouncy boat rides may be necessary to reach your perfect strand under the palms. Philippine Beaches organised by region 1 North (on/near Luzon, the mainland). 2 (including some of the most famous beach zones such as and . Hundred Islands National Park, Pangasinan, east Luzon 250 km north of Manila, Pangasinan’s coast of Lingayan Gulf is blessed with great beaches such as Abrak Beach in Bilinao, but some of the Hundred Islands near Alaminos town are even better, isolated, beautiful, irresistible – white powder beaches backed by pine trees and coconut palms with a view over extraordinary mushroom-shaped islets. This is a national geological monument and only the three islands of Quezon, Children’s and Govenor’s have facilities, though plenty of accommodation is available in the towns of Bolinao and Dasol from where tours to the Hundreds can be easily arranged. Getting there: 5 hours ( 254 km/159 miles) by land from Manila to Alaminos, then take a boat from Lucap Port. Saud Beach, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, far northeast Luzon Situated on the north tip of Luzon Island, tranquil Pagudpud (aka Tongotong) offers three wide white beaches; Saud Beach was picked as Asia’s best beach by an Aussie newspaper; the calm, blue Maira-ira Point (also know as Blue Lagoon or Malingay Cove), and Pansian Beach which sees hardly any tourists. Accommodation, food and drink are affordable, the sea is clear, the sand is as white and fine as Boracay, but there is no party scene there. To enjoy more of scenic Pagudpud, hike to Nacatnagan Cliff, or drive along the winding Patapat viaduct, the Philippines’ 4th longest bridge for a spectacular coastal landscape.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Best Beach]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestBeach/best-philippines-beach-resorts</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestBeach/best-philippines-beach-resorts</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 23 Nov 2024 08:08:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Philippines Tourism Statistics</title> <description>Number of Establishments Based on the final results of the 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Philippines (STEP), the total number of establishments engaged in Health and Wellness was estimated to be 3, 797.

TECHNICAL NOTES Introduction The National Statistics Office (NSO) conducted the first-ever 2009 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Philippines (STEP). This survey collected information on the available supply of tourism goods, products and services which are valuable inputs in the compilation of the Philippine Tourism Satellite Account (PTSA). This is a nationwide survey of establishments in the formal sector engaged in tourism characteristic industries only as defined by Philippine Tourism Statistical Classification System (PTSCS). Tourism characteristic products are goods and services which would cease to exist in meaningful quantity or those for which the level of consumption would be significantly reduced in the absence of visitors (e.g. accommodation services). Activities from which the products were created are termed as tourism characteristic industries.. Scope and coverage The 2009 STEP is a nationwide survey of establishments in the formal sector engaged in tourism characteristic industries only, as well as, health and wellness industries. Identified industries for health and wellness are included due to the increasing demand for statistics on these activities. The 2009 STEP covered completely four tourism characteristic industries namely: Hotels and motels (H55110) Pension houses (H55191) Other short-stay accommodation (H55199) Chartered buses and cars operation (I60940) Also included for scope and coverage of 2009 STEP are those establishments engaged in the following: Accommodation (H55120, H55192) Restaurant (H552) Passenger transport Transport equipment rental Travel agency, tour operator and tourist guide services Recreation, entertainment, cultural services and similar activities Financial and insurance activities Health and wellness Response rate A total of 503 or 86.4 percent responded out of the 582 sample establishments drawn for the sector. These include receipts of "good" questionnaires, partially accomplished questionnaires, and reports of closed, moved out or out of scope establishments.

Beauty/Barber shop an establishment dealing with cosmetic treatments for men and women. Other variations of this type of business include hair salons and spas. There is a distinction between a beauty salon and a hair salon and although many small businesses do offer both sets of treatments; beauty salon provided more generalized services related to skin health, facial aesthetic, foot care, aromatherapy, - even meditation, oxygen therapy, mud baths and innumerable other services.

Only two out of 10 Filipino households have access to a simple savings account. So for the Philippines central bank, the answer seemed obvious: “It’s a two-speed economy, ” says Deputy Governor Nestor Espenilla Jr. in this interview. For a central bank to be relevant in such an environment, says Espenilla, “We needed to connect our work with the important objective of including people in the financial system.” More and more policymakers are now recognizing that financial exclusion is a risk to political stability and impedes economic advancement, and that financial inclusion measures can complement, not undermine, financial stability, financial integrity, and consumer protection. Mindful of their responsibility to maintain the safety and soundness of the financial system, and to prevent exploitation of customers, the Philippines central bank has worked to develop appropriate regulations that conform to the principles espoused by international standards. At the same time, the central bank creates space for the private sector to develop new products that cater to the requirements of the poor. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has set out to work closely with the private sector to encourage competition because they see the private sector as key to innovation. “We have positioned ourselves as regulators to study closely these innovations… let them test new ideas, and learn from those ideas, ” says Espenilla. Thirty-seven percent of municipalities in the Philippines operate without a banking office but mobile phones have an 80% penetration rate, with most customers being active users. The central bank saw this as a distinct opportunity. Regulation has now opened up the opportunity for telcos to compete with banks to deliver mobile money services through a dedicated subsidiary. Competition from telco-based remittances has not only enriched the variety of services available; it has also been an important driver in lowering the prices of remittances for customers-a critical issue in an environment where remittances are such an important part of the economy. (External remittances alone make up 10% of GDP and internal remittances between family members working in urbanized areas sending to beneficiaries in the provinces are a significant part of daily life in the Philippines.) “The mere entry of competition, ” says Espenilla, “has improved the cost and quality of services and that is really a big win.”</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Tourist]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTourist/where-is-the-philippines</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTourist/where-is-the-philippines</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 05 Nov 2024 08:03:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Travel from Philippines to USA</title> <description>Philippine citizens must apply for a tourist visa before they are permitted to enter the Unites States.

This is applicable for any length of stay, since the Philippines does not participate in the United States' Visa Waiver Program. To apply for a visa, schedule an interview bring the requested materials and fee to the U.S. Embassy in Manila. Tourist Visa Basics The B-2 visa covers travel for the recreational purposes, including family visits, medical treatment and vacation. Students, temporary workers and journalists do not fall under this category, and must apply for different types of visas. To be eligible for a tourist visa, applicants must prove their intent to visit the United States is recreational and that they plan to stay only for a specific, limited period of time. They also must prove they have enough money to cover their expenses once they get here and that they have social and economic ties to their native country. They must show they have a home outside of the United States, and that other important ties that will prevent them from trying to overstay their visa. Things You'll Need To apply for a B-2 visa, Filipinos must submit the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application, Form DS-160. They also need a Philippines passport that won't expire until at least six months after the last projected day visiting the United States. The B-2 visa requires one 2-inch-by-2-inch photo, as well as a visa application processing fee. As of the date of publication, the B-2 visa fee was $160. Other documentation required to apply for a visa includes evidence that shows the purpose of the trip, documentation that shows booked departure travel from the United States and evidence of arrangements to cover the cost of the trip. How to Apply To apply for a B-2 visa, visit the U.S. Embassy in Manila. Though you are permitted to apply at any U.S. consulate or embassy abroad, the State Department warns that it will likely be easier to qualify for a visitor visa by applying from the country of residence. Make an appointment to visit the embassy or consulate for an interview in advance, and pay the visa application processing fee online when making that appointment. During the appointment, prospective visitors are interviewed about trip plans, and they will have their fingerprints scanned. Schedule an interview online at or by calling (02) 902-8930 or (02) 982-5555. Other Considerations Visa applications are reviewed in great detail, so apply well in advance of the intended travel departure date. People below the age of 14 or older than 79 typically are not required to go to the consulate for an interview, unless specifically requested to do so. The State Department cautions not to finalize travel plans - or purchase nonrefundable tickets - until a visa has been issued. Those granted a visitor visa are not allowed to accept a job in the United States during the trip.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Travel]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTravel/travel-from-philippines-to-usa</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTravel/travel-from-philippines-to-usa</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 27 Oct 2024 08:02:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Tourist Guide in the Philippines</title> <description>Whenever a foreigner asks me for recommendations, Bohol is always in my top three.

The reason is simple: a wide array of extraordinary attractions. Sure, other islands in the Philippines are worth recommending, too, but most boast one or two of the following — white beaches, incredible sites, diverse wildlife, interesting history. Bohol has them all. From wild encounters with dolphins to the incomparable views of the Chocolate Hills, Bohol is a province that is easy to promote. It doesn’t need much sales talk. And given that I’ve only explored the southern edge of the province and a few of its islands, I wonder just how much harder I would love Bohol when I point my compass northward. Here’s some information I have gathered in the three times that I visited Bohol. Hope it could help you plan your trip to this one-of-a-kind tropical paradise! How to Get to Bohol The fastest and easiest way is by plane. Cebu Pacific Air, Philippine Airlines (PAL), and AirAsia Zest operate multiple flights from Manila to Tagbilaran City, the capital of Bohol. Travel time is around 1 hour and 15 minutes. You may also opt to travel by boat. Tagbilaran City Pier is the destination of a number of ships coming from Manila. There are also vessels from other parts of the Visayas including Dumaguete and Cebu. If you’re coming from Mindanao, you may hop on a boat to Bohol in Cagayan de Oro and Dipolog. There are also boats from Camiguin but the destination is Jagna in the southeastern corner of Bohol. Places to Visit in Bohol Again, I have only set foot on the southern coast of the main island up to the Chocolate Hills and some outlying islands. Here are some attractions that you might not want to miss. The photos are linked to specific posts narrating in detail my experience at the place. Here are other destinations you should also check out: Pamilacan Island. A small island that has become a favorite among divers and snorkelers. It is famous for dolphin-watching and whale-watching. Danao Adventure Park. A destination for the more adventurous! Located in the municipality of Danao, it offers a wide array of extreme yet educational activities including suislide, river trekking, kayaking, root climbing, and rappelling. Hinagdanan Cave. A naturally lit limestone cavern in Panglao Island. Anda, Bohol. Tucked in the extreme eastern edge of the province, the municipality of Anda boasts a number of white beaches and other natural attractions. Mag-aso Falls in Antiquera Punta Cruz Watch Tower at Maribojoc Bay Sagbayan Peak The north remains waiting for me and I hope I could go back soon. Bohol Tours The two most popular tours in Bohol are the Island-Hopping Tour and the so-called Countryside Tour. But here’s a list of the other tours with the destinations that are usually covered.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Tourist]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTourist/tourist-guide-in-the-philippines</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesTourist/tourist-guide-in-the-philippines</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 18 Oct 2024 08:01:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Traveling to Manila</title> <description>***NOTE: LIST IS IN RANDOM ORDER*** 10.

SOLITARY WANDERER (by Aleah Taboclaon) Aleah writes about her experiences of traveling alone (she started traveling alone at age 11). She loved offering tips and tricks to make solo travel safer and more enjoyable. 9. I am Aileen (by Aileen Adalid) Aileen graduated early at one of the top universities in the metro. In fact, when she was 21, she quit her corporate job in the Philippines to travel the world. Today, she is a digital nomad & entrepreneur living a sustainable travel lifestyle. Her website, iAmAileen.com, was relaunched just last Septemeber 2014 as a travel blog as she aims to inspire others to wander out more. Her mission? To show that any non-rich third national like her can travel the world sustainably, even with only a third world passport! 8. P.S. I’m on My Way (by Trisha Velarmino) Trisha is one of those people who gave up their comfortable life to travel the world. In 2013, she left her 9-5 routine and traveled to South America. She found ways on how to travel for less by volunteering, teaching English and working remotely. Today, she can say that she’s living the life she’d always imagined and it’s the best decision she ever made. 7. Two Monkeys Travel Group (by Kach Mu and Jonathan Howe) Kach and Jonathan are working-on-the-road couple from the Philippines and UK. Having each decided to quit their jobs and set off around South East Asia to start their new lives, neither imagined they would end up traveling the world with someone they met in a backpackers’ bar in Laos. But that’s what happened! They are both certified Tantra Yoga Teachers, Ayurveda Massage Therapists and TEFL Certified Teachers. Working wherever and whenever they want! Travelling since April 2013 and currently exploring South America. Their next major travel goal- Antartica via Argentina. 6.

You can even come over and back on a courier flight, any time and it's very cheap. Book your hotel in advance since the good hotels sometimes fill up quickly. You can always find a good "pension house", to accommodate you in the $35-$50 range. These will have private bath, cable TV, air conditioning and hot water most of the time. Travel by land since it is inexpensive. A ride across a large city like Cebu in an air conditioned taxi is about .40 US and the ride to most airports not much more than that. Most airports are close into town. Jeepney fares, are Peso 6 - 7, about 10 cents us, the main mode of transportation for most people. They are colorful and fun except when it is raining, they do leak. If you want to tour around Manila in a much cheaper and faster long distances destinations, ride the LRT (Manila Light Rail Transit System) and the MRT (Manila Metro Rail Transit System) with fares ranging from 10-15 pesos (25-35 US cents) or a stored-value (multiple-use) ticket ranging from 100 to 200 pesos (2.50-2.80 US dollar). Eat out. American and other international foods are available. Fast food places from Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonald's to their own, Jollibee, abound and prices are cheaper than in almost every country in the world. Visit the nightlife. The Philippines is always voted as best in night life by the expats in Asia, and the prices are the best too. Go shopping. There are many local handicrafts to buy. Do not overlook the silver, handmade in Baguio City, in the north of the main island Luzon, famous for years. Baguio is one of the cooler places to go too, in the mountains, the City of Pines. Don't tip. Tipping is the exception, not the rule. If you want to be given preferred treatment, even without making a reservation, give a hefty tip immediately and discreetly. With that, you can almost expect to be treated like a king. Filipinos are avid practitioners of The Golden Rule. Get sporty. Golf and other entertainments abound. Japanese tourists fly from Japan stay two nights at a first class hotel, play two rounds of golf on the weekend, have a caddie and umbrella girl and a nice room and food for the price of one round of golf in Japan. 10 See the movies. First run movies are about 3.00USD or less and sometimes are in the cinemas before they hit larger countries(just make sure you get there early enough Philippine theaters have been known to have standing room only)</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Philippines Best Places]]></category> <link>http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestPlaces/places-to-visit-in-the-philippines</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fayettevilletourism.com/PhilippinesBestPlaces/places-to-visit-in-the-philippines</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Sep 2024 07:53:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
