Quezon City, Manila – [June 2, 2021] – The Philippines prides itself as a tropical country that is blessed with islands many of which are still unspoiled. Indeed, these islands are a source of pride for Filipinos to showcase what the country can offer to the world as a tourist destination.  And perhaps chief among these islands is Palawan, named “The Best Island in the World” countless times.

When you ask a tourist or a local why they think the island deserves the title, you are likely to lose count. Palawan is primarily known for the world-class beauty of its beaches and other natural wonders like the Underground River, Bacuit Bay Islands, Baracuda Lake, and Ugong Rock, among others.

However, Palawan still has numerous unappreciated destinations that are waiting to be discovered. If you have been planning to visit the best island in the world, why not include these emerging gems in your itinerary?

Known as the “Mecca of Scuba Divers,” Cagayancillo island is only southwest of Puerto Prinsesa. You will find the famous Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, dubbed as the center of the Coral Triangle. If scuba diving is part of your bucket list, this is the perfect place to check it off, as you will get a chance to scuba dive to see its beautiful reefs.

Six Wonderful Rising Destinations of Palawan

Port Barton

Port Barton is a quiet fishing village just north of Palawan’s capital and only started to gain tourist attraction because of its similar beauty to El Nido –only without the busy nightlife. If you are looking for the perfect escape from the noise of life, this laidback little town is the ideal island getaway for you.

Brooke’s Point

Do you want to know what Palawan’s countryside looks like? Then Brooke’s Point is the best place to visit! In this town, you will see and experience the beauty of living in the province without all the city lights and stressful technology. You can also check out the beauty of nature since you will find the Ecological Park and AgriWorld Farm here.

Balabac Island

Dubbed as the “Maldives of the Philippines,” not many tourists reach the island since it is one of the most challenging islands to travel to. However, its beauty speaks for itself since people sought their piece of paradise here, and you will get a chance to hike and live in nature like a “castaway” at some of its islets. These sets of islands on the Southern part of Palawan are certainly paradise on Earth. 

Balayong Park

An upcoming and significant infrastructure development in Puerto Prinsesa, The Balayong Park, is expected to host sports-related activities. The park is a part of the city government’s reboot of the tourism-related infrastructure programs as it prepares to “recover in the next two to three years.”

Balayong Park is one of the island’s developments that will help sustain its disrupted tourism industry. Recently, three new ports in El Nido, Bataraza, and Coron also started operations last March, which are expected to significantly enhance the mobility and connectivity of people and goods in the province and facilitate movements to significant trading and tourism centers.

Besides improving the lives of the locals on the island, Palawan’s infrastructure developments will allow tourists to experience all of the island’s beauty. Once the local tourism industry has fully healed, businesses and other sectors like real estate will soon follow its lead.
