Visayas has just unlocked a new era of travel. The Department of Tourism (DOT) officially launched the One Visayas Tourism Circuits, an exciting program that links Western, Central, and Eastern Visayas through curated heritage, gastronomy, and diving adventures. The launch at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City brought together government leaders, private partners, and travel enthusiasts eager to see the region shine as a unified destination.
Celebrating Heritage, Culture, and Cuisine
The circuits highlight the Visayas’ unique identity through UNESCO Heritage and Gastronomy Trails and Heritage Trails and Cultural Discoveries. Travelers can walk historic streets in Iloilo, taste Bacolod’s iconic flavors, revel in Cebu’s vibrant culture, and immerse in the warmth of Tacloban and Dumaguete. Each stop showcases a distinct blend of heritage and modern hospitality, designed to let visitors connect deeply with local traditions.
Diving Into Adventure
For thrill seekers, the Diving Expeditions in the Visayas open the door to some of the world’s most breathtaking underwater escapes. Whale shark encounters in Southern Leyte’s Sogod Bay, coral gardens in Balicasag Island, and pristine waters off Antique’s Nogas Island are just some of the wonders waiting to be discovered. From beginners to seasoned divers, the Visayas offers unmatched marine biodiversity and unforgettable ocean experiences.
Seamless Travel, Endless Discoveries
DOT officials emphasized that the project also reflects improved connectivity across the islands, with airlines like Cebu Pacific servicing nine airports across the region. More circuits are already being planned, ensuring that the Visayas continues to expand as a premier destination for both local and international travelers.
