PH listed in NY Times’ ‘Places to Go in 2013’
01/12/2013
MANILA – Its white sand beaches and pristine reefs have made the Philippines one of the top tourist destinations for 2013.
In an article in the New York Times, the Philippines is ranked No. 17 among the “46 Places to Go in 2013.”
“Idyllic white sand beaches, secluded, little-known surf towns, and pristine reefs are among the natural draws of this country made up of over 7,000 tropical islands,” New York Times travel writer Ondine Cohane said.
Cohane said the Philippines has much more to offer aside from Boracay.
Among the must see destinations, she said, are the Dedon Island resort on Siargao and the private island resort of El Nido in Palawan.
“Although the Philippines has been subject to travel advisories in the past, they mostly focus on Mindanao in the south. For extra security, outfitters like Asian expert Remote Lands organize private transfers and local guides,” said Cohane.
At the top of New York Times’ ‘Places to Go in 2013’ list is Brazil's Rio de Janeiro, followed by France's Marseille and Nicaragua.
