MY money is on one of the region’s unsung heroes, The Philippines, being about to become a “must go” destination for the new year.

With the release of ‘long term’ low air fares being introduced by Philippine Airlines, Australian travellers will love this relatively unexplored part of Asia.

Offering pristine beaches, historic importance, unspoilt rainforests and some fabulous modern resorts, the Philippines is set to challenge us to discover some of its gems such as the beaches of Boracay, the culture of Cebu, the forests of Bohol (home to the world’s smallest monkey, the cute as a button tarsier) and the limestone coasts of Palawan.

With low cost fares from $900 return ex Sydney, Filipino hospitality is set to shine.
