Sun, beach and sea 

or

adventure, natural and cultural landscapes?

The Philippines consists of 7107 islands.

Most of the islands are very small. Many  of these small islands as well as the bigger islands, have a lot to offer to tourists. There are many possibilities for typical "sun, sea and beach holidays" and for specific adventure holidays.

You can even meet the whale sharks and swim close to them. For tourists who want to discover geographically interesting landscapes or who want to meet mountain tribes, the Philippines has it all!
