BUTUAN CITY (PNA) – The recent recognition of Siargao as one of the Top 10 Islands in Asia for this year’s Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards indicates that it has fully recovered from the pandemic and the brunt of typhoon “Odette” in 2021.
“Siargao Island has indeed bounced back,” Department of Tourism- Caraga Director Ivonnie Dumadag said in an interview on Friday, October 6.
Dumadag attributed Siargao’s latest achievement to the strong collaboration of the government agencies, local government units on the island, and the private sector. “It is through the convergence of all stakeholders that supported, assisted, and steered the way to regain Siargao’s international standing post-pandemic and post-Odette,” Dumadag said.
In a statement Friday, Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco welcomed the recognition, seeing it as a"resounding message" from tourists that"they Love the Philippines."
