The honors continue for the Philippines with announcement of Palawan being named the “World’s Best Island” by the New York based Travel + Leisure magazine. The official awards ceremony we will be held in New York City on July 18th.
UNESCOs recognition of the Palawan biosphere reserve in the Philippines for the Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park and the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park helped Palawan garner the award. Adding to the many attractions you can see in Palawan is a new resort with a scuba center. Palawan is an exceptionally beautiful archipelago that is only about a 2 ½ hour flight out of Hong Kong and it’s great to see it get some well deserved recognition. (for more click here and here)
