The
province of Cebu takes pride in its many attractions, making
it a top island destination in the Philippines.
This paradise offers endless surprises to tourists - scuba diving
and snorkeling in its beautiful waters which teem with marine
life, basking under the sun on its white sand beaches, and taking
pleasure in its rejuvenating spas, exciting and pulsating nightlife,
challenging golf tournaments, great
shopping experiences and delectable Cebuano cuisine.
With a harmonious blend of past and present, a visit to Cebu
will take you from the Philippines' colonial past to its modern,
bustling economic centers. For tourists needing a change of scenery,
its laid back, serene countryside also offers heritage sites
and exciting nature-based adventures.
The world's top travel magazines couldn't help but agree. Travel
+ Leisure magazine recognized Cebu as one of the top island destinations
in Asia in its 2009 World's Best Awards. In the Condé
Nast Traveler annual Readers' Choice Survey, Cebu has consistently
occupied the 7th spot in the Best Island Destination in Asia/Indian
Ocean category in 2008, 2007 and 2004. It ranked 8th for the
same award in 2006 and 2005.
Not just a leisure destination, Cebu is also best positioned
to cater to the business traveler's needs. A wide range of business-related
conveniences is also available to ensure a productive stay. World-
class hotels and resorts are located in Cebu, each with impressive
amenities and facilities.
Cebu is indeed fast becoming a M.I.C.E. destination in this part
of the country, with convention facilities of international standards.
The province has played host to several international conferences
and events such as the 12th ASEAN Summit, the 6th International
Tourism Forum for Parliamentarians and Local Authorities, the
ASEAN Tourism Forum & several APEC Senior Officials' Conferences.
It is indeed
an ideal destination for tourists, whether for business or pleasure.
