Under the name Go Discover Travel, the whl.travel presence in the Philippines has taken another significant step towards becoming the preferred hotel and tour booking company in the country. Already established in two destinations – Cebu and Boracay – whl.travel recently gave travellers another reason to visit the Philippines: Palawan.

These three destinations represent some of the most popular holiday choices in the country, combining the best of what the Philippines has to offer, including tropical beaches, rich culture, diverse landscapes and rich heritage.

The newest addition, Palawan, is a treasure chest of natural wonders. Here, one can find miles of exquisite untouched beaches, shimmering lagoons, lush forests, exotic flora and fauna and dive destinations known the world over. Its rich natural resources and heritage have not gone unnoticed, as there are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Tubbataha Reef and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.

Indeed, the scenic landscapes and seascapes of Palawan have made it a favourite destination for adventure seekers, nature lovers, honeymooners, and families. The many islands are home to a variety of accommodations for every traveller’s need – from the most luxurious to cozy off-the-beaten-track cottages.

Go Discover Travel caters to both travellers and accommodation providers. They make it easy for the traveller to make well-informed decisions through websites that provide photos, destination guides and accurate information about shopping, transportation and restaurants. On the same note, they select the best variety of accommodations for the traveller. Since they are a company committed to sustainable tourism, they also provide free consulting in that area and marketing incentives to hotels that demonstrate real caring for the destination.

Their deep-rooted beliefs about sustainability really are the core of their business. Helen Atanacio, Managing Director of Go Discover Travel, says, “I am really happy to be a part of the whl.travel family. Through their unique business model, my activities are helping the Philippines reach its tourism potential at a sustainable level.”

Through Go Discover Travel, whl.travel provides everything needed for the perfect, personalized vacation in the Philippines, including the best of all options for the conscientious traveller.
