Traveling to Cebu province from anywhere in the Philippines is now allowed. 

Now, people from wherever in the country won’t have to just dream about the many incredible sights and places Cebu has to offer because they  are now welcome.

With emphasis on getting the local tourism and economy back up and at the same time answering the growing concern of joblessness in the province, the Cebu Provincial Tourism Task Force met up with Cebu province’s Governor Gwendolyn Garcia on Thursday, February 11.

“Interzonal movement of persons not authorized outside of residences or non-APOR between areas placed under GCQ and MGCQ for any purpose shall be permitted subject to reasonable regulations imposed by the LGU concerned, if any,”
– Cebu Gov. Garcia said, quoting Section 7 (3) of the new guideline
Allowed purpose of travel:

​

 

• Visit relatives

• Business

• Tourism

Visitors requirements: 

​

 

• Pre-booked reservations (resorts & hotels), and / or

• Registration at the Capitol’s booking portal (different tourism activities)

​

Bookings at resort/Hotels for accommoodation can be done direct to the resort/Hotel or travel agency or AGODA,BOOKING etc.

 

Tourism Activities like Snorkeling,Diving, ISlAND TOURS ETC. MUST be booked through the Cebu BOOKING PORTAL https://discover.cebu.gov.ph/ to avoid crowded places in danger to Corona Virus .

​

Private booking on site with small boat operators or Canvassers is ILLEGAL 

​

Opening the gates of Cebu so to say will greatly help tourism especially with the province being the main hub of tourism, education, information technology (IT), and a major economic player in the region as the richest province in 2019.

Final crafting of the guidelines by the Task Force will be done anytime this week together with the tour operators, shipping and airline companies to pitch their ideas and be in the loop.
