It used to be that the Philippines hardly
attracted a million visitors each year despite all the good beaches, the
huge shopping malls, the warm climate and the historic places. In the last
few years, the amount of tourists has actually rose to more than two
million a year. This year, both the private and the public sectors expect
visitor arrivals to reach three million. By 2010 there are expected to be
more than five million visitors. The Philippines already has a significant tourism advantage over its Asian neighbours due to its long white beaches (the Philippines is widely-recognized as the beach capital of Asia), rich coastal and marine resources, diverse ecosystems, vast forest reserves and well-preserved historical landmarks, as well as the natural warmth of the Filipino people. Central Philippines boasts seven of the country’s 10 most visited beaches, located specifically in the provinces of Cebu, Alkan, Negros Occidental, Sorsogon, Samar, Palawan and Romblon. Most notably, Boracay Island’s more than two-mile-long White Beach in Western Visayas is hailed by many as the finest beach of the world.
