Luzon ranks second in TripAdvisor 2020 Travellers’ Choice Awards

Luzon was the second trending destination in the world at the TripAdvisor 2020 Travellers' Choice Awards.

Online global travel platform TripAdvisor said travelers are flocking to the island of Luzon to "experience one of the more unique locations in the world."

"It’s [Luzon] home to some of the most exquisite natural landscapes and biodiversity on the planet—from vast mountains and dense rainforests to endless beaches and coral reefs," the platform said.

While Luzon is clearly more than just the National Capital Region and a few tourist spots, the website listed Fort Santiago in Manila, Mount Pulag in CAR/Region II, and National Museum in Manila among the places to see in the region.

Meanwhile, Cebu bagged the 24th spot for its diverse travel destinations.

"From the cosmopolitan metropolis of Cebu City and the white-sand beaches of Mactan to the electric-blue waters of Kawasan Falls and the whale sharks of Oslob, it’s easy to see why Cebu Island is one of the Philippines’ top destinations," TripAdvisor said.

Kochi (Cochin), India ranked first while Porto, Portugal ranked third under the Trending Destinations category of the 2020 Travellers' Choice Awards.

Meanwhile, London ranked first under the Popular Destinations category, followed by Paris and Crete. — Joahna Lei Casilao/BM, GMA News
