The Department of Tourism (DOT) supports Coron, Palawan’s decision to ease its travel restrictions starting Dec. 1, allowing local tourists from ages 15 to 65 years old to enter the island under a test-before-travel policy.

Coron Island is considered an adventure paradise known for leisure activities like wreck diving, kayaking, island-hopping, and snorkeling, among others. The island also boasts a rich marine biodiversity, white sand beaches, mangrove swamps, and turquoise crystal-clear lakes. The island also offers a serene experience at the Maniquit Hot Springs and picturesque view at top of Mt. Tapyas.

As of Nov. 29, the DOT has issued Certificates of Authority to Operate to a total of 10 hotels and resorts in Coron. But the tourism department’s regional office will regularly check these establishments for compliance with health and safety standards. Tourists must first acquire a negative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction result within 72 hours before travel. They must also have a pre-arranged booking at DOT-certified accommodation establishments and tour operators, as tour packages and travel itineraries need to be booked in advance, and must also register and fill-out the online health declaration form, which can be accessed at www.corontourism.ph.
