Here’s What To Expect If You Travel to Bohol This Summer

The Philippines is gradually shifting to a post-COVID phase. The government ensures that the country’s tourism industry is heightened so that it can slowly recover from the aftermath of the pandemic, where everything was temporarily halted. A well-known summer and holiday destination like Bohol is gearing up to become a more sustainable tourist destination for this year’s summer. Bohol’s natural scenic views are best enjoyed when well-equipped and prepared with the necessary travel requirements.

With the likes of tourist destinations such as Boracay and Palawan, Bohol is also in the progress of making its top tourist attractions more sustainable in preparation for this year’s summer. One instance would be the reopening of the famous Loboc river cruise, which was recently launched last March 1, after more than one and a half years of hiatus. Four more river vessels will be launched by the end of the month, attracting more travelers to revisit the Loboc River in Bohol. Each of the four cruise vessels launched can carry a capacity of 30 to 35 persons, which is 50% of its seating scope.

As of writing, Bohol is placed under Alert Level 2 classification, the second-lowest alert level system. It is foresighted to be deescalated to Alert Level 1 starting March 16 if the province maintains its low record of active cases. With this presumption, Bohol can prepare for the flock of foreign or local tourists to visit and have a long, sustainable summer vacation in Bohol.

Federal restrictions have also eased, with the country now allowing fully vaccinated travelers from non-visa countries to enter without complying with the mandatory quarantine.
