Best available tours in Cebu as of February 2023

The year 2023, has been very difficult for tourism industry in the Philippines especially in the Visayas region, including Cebu City and its provinces. Aside from the pandemic, which is almost 2 years already worldwide, the island was hit by the typhoon Odette (internationally named as ‘Rai’), last December 16, 2021, which destructed most, if not all, of the tourist destinations in Cebu.

Cebu, as one of the most visited provinces in tourism industry, is now recovering from the typhoon. They start to open some of the tourist spots even if not fully recovered from the typhoon. Given the situation caused by the pandemic, and some of the restrictions being lifted, most of the tourist destinations in Cebu are starting to accept local and foreign tourists, if you are fully vaccinated and will observe health protocols as mandated by the governments.

In our last post, the IATF Resolution 159 which was approved by the Inter-Agency Task Force already allows foreign tourists to enter the Philippines starting February 10. This is a great help for the Filipinos to recover and bring back the economy of the country.

So here are some of the tour packages that you can avail starting February 2023.
