Tourists arriving in Bohol can now explore lesser-known attractions on the island thanks to a newly launched visitor discovery guide. The guide, introduced by Bohol-Panglao International Airport, aims to enhance the travel experience by directing visitors to sites beyond the usual tourist spots. The initiative encourages a more diverse and immersive exploration of the island’s natural and cultural offerings.
The guide provides detailed information on off-the-beaten-path locations, including historical sites, local markets, and scenic viewpoints. It is available in both print and digital formats, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of travelers. The move comes as part of broader efforts to promote sustainable tourism and reduce overcrowding at popular destinations.
Bohol has long been a popular destination for its natural beauty, including the Chocolate Hills and the island’s rich biodiversity. However, the island’s tourism sector has faced challenges due to increasing visitor numbers and the need to preserve local heritage. The new guide is seen as a step toward balancing tourism growth with environmental and cultural protection. Local authorities hope the initiative will encourage visitors to spread out their exploration, thereby supporting smaller communities and reducing pressure on major attractions.
