Due to travel restrictions imposed as a response to the COVID-19 breakout, businesses in popular travel destinations from all over the country face a challenge as tourist arrivals in the country drop and people looking to travel overseas are forced to rebook or cancel their flights altogether as a safety precaution.
In response to this, airlines such as Cebu Pacific, Qatar Airways and Emirates have announced that they will be waiving rebooking fees for tourists whose scheduled flights are affected by recently imposed travel restrictions. Hotels and resorts, especially in places such as Boracay and Bohol, have begun offering discounts in order to invite local tourists to visit.
So if you’re looking for ways to change your plans in light of various travel restrictions, we’ve listed places where you can get discounted prices.

Known for its white sand beaches as well as its wide variety of food and refreshments, the recently rehabilitated island is also pushing towards more eco-friendly tourism.
