What should I pay attention to when traveling in the Philippines?

1, the first thing to be psychologically prepared for is that the natural and cultural landscape in the Philippines is really attractive, but the facilities, environment, food and services around the scenic spots may not be satisfactory. Generally speaking, the infrastructure construction in the Philippines is not perfect, and the conditions of roads and hotels are relatively poor, especially outside the capital Manila.

2. China tourists who pay attention to food enjoyment should be prepared. The eating habits of Filipinos are very different from those of China, and many China tourists will be influenced by their unaccustomed eating habits.

There is usually no uniform standard for scenic spots here, and the pricing may fluctuate at will, so the quotation of travel agencies often cannot reflect the final actual cost. In order to avoid cost disputes, tourists who can't speak the local language or English should invite reliable people who are familiar with the local situation as guides. Moreover, Filipinos are not fluent in English, few people can speak Chinese, and many Chinese descendants can't speak Mandarin, only Minnan dialect.

As far as tourism projects are concerned, many projects, such as island tours and adventure tours (including diving, surfing and close contact with sharks). ), the cultural customs and scenic tours in the Philippines are consistent with the interests of outbound tourists from China. Travel agencies mainly arrange tourists to visit northern Luzon, Manila, central Visayas, southwestern palawan island and Davao in southern Mindanao. Tourism resources in other parts of Mindanao are very rich, but for safety reasons, travel agencies generally do not organize tourists to go.

5. The duration of the Philippine tourist visa is 2 1 day, which means certain restrictions for tourists who are eager for "in-depth tourism". China tourists who want to know more about Philippine nature and culture can only arrange their trips if they are invited and received by local friends or institutions.
