This November, the PATA New Tourism Frontiers Forum is hosted by the Albay Provincial Government of the Philippines and will be held in Legazpi City, nicknamed, “City of Fun and Adventure.” Legazpi, capital of the Philippine province of Albay, is home to the famed Mayon Volcano, numerous parks and natural treasures, as well as historic sites. Albay itself features black sand beaches, marine reserves, indigenous communities, and opportunities to adventure on all terrain vehicles. The province also serves as the port of entry for tourists who are interested to visit and interact with the world famous Whale Shark called Butanding, the world’s largest fish.
