    Palaui Island

    Palaui Island is made up of volcanic debris, lying between the South China Sea and the
    Pacific Ocean. It is a protected area having been declared as National Marine Reserve
    in 1994, abundant in wildlife, marine life and timber. With only a small community living
    in the island, it is largely uninhabited. It is politically under the jurisdiction of Sta. Ana
    and it is home to a small fishing community. Palaui Island has no electricity, nor
    commercial accommodation. Its main attraction aside from the gorgeous beaches is the
    18th century lighthouse built by the Spaniards called Farol de Cabo Engaño or Cape
    Engaño Lighthouse. From this lighthouse, the best view of Palaui Island is offered.

    Tuguegarao City—Palaui Island has already earned two major distinctions—one as


    CNN Go’s best beaches in the world, and the other as the two-time location of American
    television series, “Survivor.” A third came its way 5 months before making the
    enchanting island, located in the northeastern tip of Luzon, one of the winners of the
    Association of Southeast Asian Nations Community-Based Tourism Award for 2019-
    2021.

    In a time when the government-ordered six-month shutdown and clean-up of world-


    famous Boracay has made global headlines, creating a model for reclaiming other
    tourism hot spots, such as El Nido and Coron from worsening environmental
    degradation, Palaui Island has emerged as a gem for sustainable tourism that
    “safeguards its socio-economic future.” That is the reason why the Palaui Island won
    the award. Also this was the verdict of jurors that selected Palaui Island’s major
    environmental group, the Palaui Environmental Protectors Association, for the award
    during the ASEAN Tourism Forum held January 18, 2019 in Halong City, Vietnam.
