1. 5 Most Visited Attraction / Destinations Local, National & International.

a) Paguriran Island & Lagoon

Paguriran Island and

Lagoon is one of the natural

wonders of Sorsogon. Travel

guides best describe it as a

lagoon in the middle of the

ocean. Strictly speaking,

Paguriran is not an island

but more like a large rocky

formation out in the sea.

Despite being surrounded by

water, Paguriran is within walking distance from a sandy shore. You can walk to

it during low tide or even high tide when the water level is usually waist-high.

The tourism highlight of Paguriran is its lagoon that occupies the hollow middle

portion of the rocky islet. The water in this lagoon reflects a clear aquamarine

color, which is considered world-class. The jumping point to Paguriran Island is

Barangay Sawangga, Bacon. From Sorsogon City, you can ride a jeepney or a

tricycle to the town of Bacon.

part of your Ilocos itinerary. This 16th-century town, a UNESCO World Heritage

Site and a popular tourist spot in the Philippines, quietly boasts old-world charm

and Spanish colonial architecture and is the top attraction in Vigan, Ilocos tours

and one of the top historical landmarks in the Philippines.

The town famous for its Calle Crisologo tour has successfully managed to

preserve the historic district where you can still find calesas (horse-drawn

carriages). Sample the famous and delicious Ilocos empanada, and walk along

cobbled streets lined up with souvenir shops selling pottery and Abel Iloko

weaves, among the many things to see and do when in Vigan.

c) Boracay
 Long hailed as one of the best white sand beaches in the Philippines and the

entire world, Boracay’s claim to fame is its 4-kilometer stretch of pure white,

powdery sand called White Beach. liche as it sounds, White Beach is truly

postcard-perfect, with tall coconut trees lined up and crystal-clear calm waters

rounding up its unmatched beauty, making it the top attraction in Boracay tours

and the best tourist destination in the Philippines. Those who want to indulge

during their holiday can also do so as Boracay is home to some of the best 5

star hotels in the Philippines, as well as several honeymoon resorts and some of

the best beach resorts in the Philippines. You can also have a workation here.

Its prominence in global publications has drawn in an influx of tourists over the

last decades, and there is no shortage of hotels, restaurants, and Boracay bars

on the entire island.

d) Puerto Princesa Underground River, Palawan

Princesa. It is here that you can find the world’s longest navigable underground

river and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Puerto Princesa Underground

River or the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. To explore this

world-famous attraction and one of the best Philippine caves, book a Puerto

Princesa underground river tour. Paddleboats of the Puerto Princesa

underground river tours cruise through scenic limestone cliffs as they makes

their way through the 1.5-kilometer underground river cave. The park is also

teeming with wildlife like crab-eating monkeys, monitor lizards, and bats. Island

hopping escapades in Honda Bay and a visit to the Crocodile Farm are also

highly recommended among the many things to do in Puerto Princesa.

e) Last Vegas Strip

Nevada, that is known for its concentration of resort hotels and casinos. The

Strip, as it is known, is about 4.2 mi (6.8 km) long,[1] and is immediately south of

the Las Vegas city limits in the unincorporated towns of Paradise and

Winchester, but is often referred to simply as "Las Vegas".

Many of the largest hotel, casino, and resort properties in the world are on the

Strip, known for its contemporary architecture, lights, and wide variety of

attractions. Its hotels, casinos, restaurants, residential high-rises, entertainment

offerings, and skyline have established the Strip as one of the most popular and

iconic tourist destinations in the world and is one of the driving forces for Las

Vegas's economy. Most of the Strip has been designated as an All-American

Road, and the North and South Las Vegas Strip routes are classified as Nevada

Scenic Byways and National Scenic Byways.
