The Philippines is a country that has always been in the tourist scene, but never hugely popular. However, there seems to be a growing interest in the country in recent years – perhaps because it was featured in TV series and seems to be very popular among bloggers. Here are my thoughts of the pros and cons of visiting this country, which might explain the positive trend of traveling to the Philippines, and also why it hasn’t boomed yet.
Pros:
There are so many destinations to choose from in the Philippines: 7641 islands, big or small, with different ethnic groups, languages and cultures.
Home to some of the most beautiful tropical beaches in the world. The Philippine Islands are constantly making it to the top of numerous travel magazines’ lists of best islands in the world.
90% of the population speak English. This makes it very convenient, and not to mention pleasant for most tourists and travelers to get around. Filipinos, as people, are known to be very welcoming as it’s an important aspect of their culture.
