Fully Vaccinated? Top Destinations to Visit without the need of RT-PCR Tests

People are eager to get away from their homes as reflected with the bulk of people visiting open spaces. Since the pandemic started, the ordinary people are not the only ones suffering, it is also the field of tourism that is greatly affected by the halt due to travel restrictions. But with the efforts for a quick and extensive vaccination system, everyone is getting booster shot to supercharge the effectiveness of their vaccines, tourism gradually stands on its own feet as borders were slowly lifted and other requirements were removed - like the RT-PCR tests.

Real estate, on the other hand, also strives to conquer such a challenge brought by the pandemic through remodeling condo design that conforms to health and safety and re-opening of the properties especially for tourists who are looking for a ready for occupancy condo that is perfect for a short-term living. Property seekers who wish to invest in a comfortable condo living experience also continued to rise since the start of the pandemic. This is the result of economic and tourism efforts to cope with the loss due to this health crisis.

As part of such effort, here are the following areas that scrap RT-PCR tests as a requirement. This may serve as a guide in finding a place to stay for those who want to pay a visit to the following places. Just a note, this requirement only applies to fully-vaccinated tourists. Non-vaccinated tourists must still present RT-PCR test results upon entry.

Cebu

The province of Cebu embarks as a center of commerce in the central Visayas and a harbor of opportunities that satisfies tropical dreams. Aside from being a historical site, Cebu is highly recognized for its famous beaches.

Removing strict requirements comes with a free pass to Cebu's eye-catching shores. White sand beaches along the coast, serene islands, and pleasing landscapes await both property seekers and tourists. Looking for a ready for occupancy condo in the area gives the best condo living experience that pictures scenic, marvelous oceans, and best sunsets.

Boracay

Recognized as one of the best beaches in the world, Boracay was also included in the list of places that do not require RT-PCR tests. Tourists can now unwind in the area, witnessing the crystalline waters and fine white sand.

Another pulling factor of the place is its serenity. It drives investors and potential homeowners to invest in a property in the area. One of the common properties is condominiums, allowing residents to experience the finest condo living in a paradise-like Boracay.

Iloilo

Iloilo, also known as the City of Love, is now also allowing fully-vaccinated tourists without RT-PCR tests. The city is known to be one of the sustainable cities in the country with its diverse open spaces, parks, and bike-friendly streets.

Iloilo also offers pristine islands and magnificent cathedrals - thanks to its Spanish heritage. Traveling the city is also not complete without having a taste of the famous La Paz Batchoy. All these are now achievable for tourists to visit with the lifting of the RT-PCR requirement.

Bohol

The Chocolate Hills, Floating Restaurant, and more - all can be found in Bohol!

This famous province is now also opening its borders to fully-vaccinated tourists without presenting their RT-PCR test results. This gives a free pass to tourists who want to have a full experience of Bohol. Notable places to visit are Panglao Island, Hinagdanan Cave, Loboc River, and of course, the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary.

Kalibo

Kalibo is just 70 kilometers away from Boracay, both have world-class beaches perfect for tourists. Just like in Boracay, Kalibo also opens its borders without the RT-PCR requirement.

Planning to visit both Kalibo and Boracay? Looking for a ready for occupancy condo in the area might be the best option. A comfortable stay that allows tourists to have an efficient option to travel back and forth and a have restful condo living both at the same time.

Clark

Another place that is open for tourists without an RT-PCR requirement is Clark. Clark is not just known for its recreational parks and museums, it is also a business-friendly zone since the city is an economic and development hub perfect for investors. It became a pulling factor not only for tourists but also for employment opportunities.

The place’s nature embraces real estate development with the rise of different residential areas, like condos with diverse condo design, that cater to different people - perhaps, a ready for occupancy condo for tourists who wish to stay for short term, or a pre-selling condo for those who want to move.

Subic

Not far from Clark is Subic. These neighboring cities are well known for their parks and business establishments. Subic, specifically, is the home to one of the most well-known tourist destinations like the Ocean Adventure, Zoobic Safari, and numerous Water parks.

The retraction of the RT-PCR requirement will surely make the tourism boom again since the start of the pandemic.

Baguio

One of the most visited places by tourists, Baguio City, is one of the few first cities that opened its border to tourists with the exclusion of RT-PCR tests. This means the cold and cozy breeze is now open for all (as long as fully-vaccinated).

Aside from its undeniable tourist destinations, this “Creative City” (as designated by UNESCO) is also known for its continuously-expanding economic growth. This acts as the main pulling factor for real estate development and a potential for more residential areas; thus the uprising of condo units in and outside the city aims to provide serene condo living by incorporating the city’s brand into every condo design.

The Philippines together with the Filipino people go hand in hand in combating the threats of the pandemic, and the measured reopening of tourism is just one way of uplifting the country back on track. It is essential not because it allows people to finally have a glimpse of the outside world, but most importantly because the economic and business sectors must cope with their huge loss in terms of livelihood.

But still bear in mind that the virus is still out there and the call to continue health precautions still continues. The removal of some requirements must not make the people complacent - always wear facemasks and do social distancing at all times.
