The Department of Tourism (DOT) Philippines is promoting travel to the CARAGA region in the northeastern part of the country, specifically Siargao Islands and Surigao del Sur. The agency has developed two new tourism circuits named 'Green Corridors'.
These routes, the 'Siargao Islands Tour and Water Sports Adventure' and the 'Surigao del Sur Eco-Tourism Loop', aim to attract both returning tourists and new visitors. Siargao is known for surfing and game fishing, and is now also being promoted for wakeboarding. The region offers island hopping opportunities, natural pools, and lagoons.
The Surigao del Sur Eco-Tourism Loop includes attractions such as Tinuy-an Falls, Hinatuan's Enchanted River, Cagwait White Beach, the Laswitan rock formations, Britania Islands, and Alameda Farms. These destinations focus on natural beauty, waterfalls, and unique water features.
The DOT emphasizes that the region's primarily open-air destinations are suitable for travel in the current climate. Travelers are advised to check official destination websites and philippines.travel for the latest updates on travel restrictions and entry requirements.
