"Mystical Siquijor: Philippines’ Fastest-Growing Tourist Destination"

Siquijor Island has quickly gained momentum as a must-visit destination in the Philippines, earning a spot as one of the fastest-growing travel hotspots, according to Agoda’s annual ranking. The island, located in the Central Visayas region, saw significant growth in international bookings from January to November 2024, marking a notable climb in popularity compared to the same period in 2023.

Known for its enchanting atmosphere and natural beauty, Siquijor draws travelers with its pristine beaches, lush forests, and mystical reputation. Top attractions like the Salagdoong man-made Molave Forest, the historical Cang-Isok House, and the stunning Lugnason Falls are just some of the island’s captivating spots that have helped boost its appeal.

While Siquijor captivates international tourists, Bohol has emerged as the leading destination for Filipino travelers. The province, also in Central Visayas, is lauded for its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and distinctive wildlife, making it a top choice for locals seeking adventure.

      With the rising demand for these off-the-beaten-path destinations, Agoda is proud to support the growth of Siquijor and Bohol as they provide travelers with fresh experiences beyond the usual tourist spots in the Philippines. According to Michael Hwang, the Country Director for the Philippines at Agoda, this trend is opening new possibilities for both international and local travelers looking to explore the Philippines' lesser-known gems.
