Tourism


Undoubtedly, Baguio City remains a prime tourist destination area in North Luzon. The city has acounted for almost 85 percent of tourist arrivals to the Cordillera Region since the region’s inception. Baguio City is also the gateway to other tourist destinations in the North. Almost always, tourists either come to the city only or pass through on their way to other places in the Cordillera. This highlights the strategic role that Baguio City plays in the region’s tourism industry.

The cool climate and fresh green and peaceful environment, not elsewhere found in other tourist destinations in the Philippines and of which the city is noted, makes it a favorite destination especially for those who would like to relax and stay away from the excessive heat of the lowlands. This is the strongest selling point of the city that makes it also the favorite venue of seminars and conferences.

Aside from its climate and green environment, the city also boasts of tourist attractions which include historical land works, cultural heritages, natural, religious and man-made spots. Parks and gardens also bound in the city as shown in the tourist spot map. Most of these are developed and maintained by the City Government. The City also host events and festivals and continue to attract visitors to the City, most notably the annual Flower Festival or Panagbenga that is celebrated in February.
