The Philippines is known all over the world for its warm hospitality and beautiful environment. Visitors to the Philippines will enjoy its varied sites (and sights), natural beauty, and friendly people. Though most business executives will spend most of their time in meetings at offices or hotels, it is well worth your while to plan some vacation time immediately after a round of meetings by extending your stay over a weekend. The vacation spots featured in this section can all be enjoyed over a long weekend (or an extended stay of 4 - 5 days over the Easter or Christmas holidays). We should know. Our own writers visited these carefully selected spots to personally write up this section. Happy travelling !

Others with a more adventurous streak look out for what challenging activities a vacation spot has on offer—mountain climbing, trekking, scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, among others.
