“Number 3 is always fortunate” –Tobias Smollett
In recent news for Palawan, the Department of Tourist (DoT) is proud to announce that Busuanga grew to a rank of number 3 on the 2025 Trending Destination according to Skyscanner Australia. Busuanga is gaining attention for its stunning natural beauty, including clean waters and white sandy beaches.
DoT is celebrating this ranking because it showcases Busuanga’s appeal as an alternative to more crowded, mainstream beach destinations in Asia. A 125% increase in flight searches from the first half of 2023 to the same period in 2024 supports this trend. It reflects a broader shift in Australia tourism: travelers are increasingly interested in quiet, lesser-known places rather than heavily trafficked tourist spots.
