  • American travel magazine Travel + Leisure recently released a list of the World’s Friendliest Islands, and four of them in the list are found in the Philippines.

    For its annual World’s Best Awards survey, Travel + Leisure surveys people to score and evaluate their travel experiences around the world. On the World’s Friendliest Islands list, readers scored the “romantic charm and friendliness of the people.”

    Coming in at No. 4 is Boracay, described as “beloved for its welcoming people as it is for its undeniable beauty.” Placing in the third spot is Luzon, which is the largest island in the Philippines. McHugh described the island as a “dynamic destination for travelers seeking a rich cultural experience.”
