subject: Top 5 Tourist Regions In The Philippines [print this page] The Philippines has a lot to offer in terms of world class vacation spots. For those who are dreaming of purchasing a property in any one of the countrys prime tourist retreat locations, here are the five choices that top the list:
Boracay
Known for its extraordinarily white sand, it is one of the most expensive Philippines properties to date. Since the beaches of Boracay are considered by tourists (both local and foreign) as some of the best in the world, lands in the area sell for more than five times the price of commercial plots with the same size in Metro Manila, the commercial capital of the country. The beauty of Boracays white beaches, clear waters, magnificent sunset views, and refreshing hillside greeneries is matched only by the price tag of its lands.
Tagaytay
A lot of people find allure in mountainside properties because of the view. However, there are very few Philippines properties that offer a view with the same grandeur as that of the lands of Tagaytay. Residents of Tagaytay are treated everyday to a site of green mountainside surrounding a calm lake pierced only by a majestic miniature volcano locally known as Mt. Taal.
Bohol
On its way to becoming one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Chocolate Hills of Bohol have captured the attention of people all over the globe. The said tourist attraction has slowly but steadily gained popularity throughout the years as tourists pass words of the places amazing features. In fact, the increasing price of Philippines properties in Bohol can attest to the regions growing fame and recognition.
Bicol
Aside from its proximity to one of few places in the world where whale sharks can be seen, Bicol holds in high esteem the countrys most majestic volcano Mt. Mayon. Said to rival Japans Mt. Fuji in height and shape, Bicols Mayon volcano stands tall over a land full of remnants of its most destructive eruption. It captivates tourists because of its sheer size and ideal conical structure embodying the regions respect and abundance in natural resources. It makes Bicol a perfect spot for appreciating the best that nature has to offer.
Davao
Regarded as one of the countrys last havens for forests and great forest creatures, Davao boasts of greeneries and of the tallest mountain in the country Mt. Apo. Officially recognized by the local government as a sanctuary, the said great mountain and its animals are protected by law.
