Philippines
This friendly nation of over 7,000 islands is a popular choice for beach lovers. The islands of Boracay, Bohol and Palawan are all famous for their beautiful sandy splendour. Eco-tourism is also a popular attraction, with the Underground Tunnel, sea kayaking, Chocolate Hills and tarsier tours.
What’s more, the Philippines are at the centre of marine diversity in the world, and destinations such as UNESCO-listed Tubbataha offer world class scuba diving opportunities.
