Tourism Spokesperson Undersecretary Benito Bengzon: Pagdating ng October 1, two of our major tourist destinations are expected to open— Baguio and Boracay. Ang target date would be on October 1.

Will there be an age limit or restrictions for tourists heading to Boracay?

DOT: Ito po ‘yung pino-propose namin. Hopefully, kapag lumabas ang final guidelines, wala tayong age restrictions. bit.ly/32XzaAv

DOT says no need for Boracay tourists to undergo quarantine, as long as they have negative test results for COVID-19.

What are the requirements for reopening hotels?

DOT: Standard pa rin diyan ang temperature check, health declaration forms. May limit din sa restaurants. Siyempre, we’re encouraging more contactless transactions.

DOT on flights heading to Boracay: Sa proposed guidelines, ang suggestion is to use Caticlan as main entry point to Boracay. Kailangan din ng health and safety protocols sa airlines. The flights will have to be restored, once we get the final decision from the IATF.

DOT reiterates Boracay reopening to cater domestic, local tourists.

Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat earlier told CNN Philippines that foreign nationals will be only be allowed to visit the island as long as they are in the country.

DOT says authorities are still finalizing the guidelines for ‘staycation’ in the capital region.

Final guidelines may be released in the next couple of days, the agency adds.
