The Moment Philippines Travel Tours Was Born
Estimated read time: 4-5 minutes
Despite all the mishaps, the wrong turns, and the unpredictable moments - when we finally reached our destinations, it was pure magic.
Some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Unfiltered. Untouched. Unbelievable.
It made me pause. It made me ask: Why doesn’t the world know about this?
A Pinch-Me Moment in Paradise
I’ll never forget floating on my back in Kawasan Falls, Cebu - surrounded by towering cliffs and the turquoise water. The sun warmed my face, the world went quiet, and I remember thinking… This is paradise.
And yet, barely anyone I knew back in Australia had even heard of it.
That moment stayed with me. And so did a question:
Why Isn’t the Philippines a Top Holiday Destination?
That trip made me realise something deeper:
The Philippines isn’t a top holiday destination - not because it’s lacking, but because most people simply don’t know how to experience it.
Unlike Bali or Fiji, there’s no global marketing push. No luxury travel ads. No clear path showing you where to go, what to eat, or how to get around stress-free.
Without insider knowledge, it can actually be a stressful trip:
Missed ferries, Poor transport options, Unsafe or uncomfortable accommodations, Wasted hours navigating confusing routes.
And that’s when it hit me:
✨ What if I could bridge that gap?
What if there was a way to explore the Philippines with the same ease you’d expect in other tropical destinations - but still honour the culture, the people, and the raw beauty of the islands?
That’s Where Philippines Travel Tours Was Born
I love marketing. I love storytelling. And I love connecting people to experiences that matter.
So why not use those skills to promote the Philippines. Not just as a place to visit, but as a way to support local communities, create jobs, and grow the economy through meaningful tourism?
That’s how Philippines Travel Tours was born.
A travel experience built on:
- Ease – no stress, no confusion, just clarity and care
- Connection – to people, to culture, to your own roots
- Contribution – supporting local guides, family-run accommodations, and small communities
This Is More Than a Business
This is a love letter.
To my heritage.
To my family.
To the country that shaped so much of who I am.
I created Philippines Travel Tours to make the Philippines accessible, easy, and unforgettable for travellers - while giving back to the people who call it home.
Let’s make the Philippines the dream destination it deserves to be.
Thank you for being here. It truly means the world.
