Philippines wins Best Dive Destination at TripZilla Excellence Awards 2024

The Philippines has proved once again that it is a world-class travel destination!

The country has been named the best diving destination at the TripZilla Excellence Awards 2024, as voted by travel enthusiasts.

On its website, TripZilla described the Philippines as a "premiere dive destination" due to its vast marine biodiversity, colorful coral reefs, and over 7,000 islands.

"Whether exploring vibrant coral gardens teeming with marine life or venturing through shipwrecks and underwater caves, the country offers dive sites suited for all levels," it said.

TripZilla also mentioned the country's warm, crystal-clear waters, affordable dive packages, and numerous world-class dive resorts that attract adventurers worldwide.

This isn't the first time the Philippines got recognized for its diving experience. In August, it was hailed the "Best Diving Destination" at the Diving Resort Travel Show (DRT) in Beijing, China.

It was also named Asia's Leading Dive Destination for the sixth consecutive year since 2019 at the World Travel Awards 2024.
