The Department of Tourism congratulates the people of Bohol - an island of exceptional natural heritage and geological significance - on its designation as the first UNESCO Global Geopark in the Philippines.
Bohol's geological history, shaped over 150 million years of tectonic activity, has given rise to the Chocolate Hills, an icon of Philippine tourism.
The inclusion of Bohol in the UNESCO Global Geoparks network is a welcome declaration of the islandโs global importance, and an inspiration to propel further our countryโs efforts towards sustainable tourism development.
As more travelers seek unique and authentic experiences, the inclusion of Bohol Island as a UNESCO Global Geopark will undoubtedly attract a broader range of visitors who appreciate the extraordinary geological and ecological diversity the Philippines has to offer.
We invite travelers from around the world to come and explore Bohol Island, which assures an unforgettable journey of immersion in nature, heritage, culture, and biodiversity.
Together, let us celebrate Boholโs momentous achievement and embrace the opportunity to showcase the immense beauty and diversity of the Philippines.
