The Philippines is setting its sights on becoming a tourism powerhouse in Asia. This vision is fueled by the introduction of exciting travel promotions and a rich tapestry of cultural experiences.
According to leading hospitality group ACCOR, the top four destinations in The Philippines are the following:
- Manila: The Heart of the Philippines. Bustling capital of Manila serves as the gateway to countless adventures with its rich history against the backdrop of Spanish colonial architecture and modern skyscrapers. Intramuros, the famed “Walled City” transports visitors back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into Manila’s vibrant past.
ibis Styles Manila Araneta City, the first ibis brand of Accor in the Philippines, stands out for its convenient location and energetic atmosphere. Right next door is the iconic Araneta Coliseum–one of Asia’s largest indoor arenas.
Accor’s Novotel flagship brand in the country, Novotel Manila Araneta City is the ultimate destination for families and friends to spend quality time in a relaxed atmosphere.
For those seeking a blend of business and leisure, Novotel Suites Manila At Acqua in Mandaluyong city offers convenience with its location in a redeveloped riverfront commercial area.
