The Philippines - a Destination to Watch in 2013... So says no other than respected Condé Nast Traveller!
"For travellers willing to go the extra thousand miles for a deserted beach, thePhilippines has around 7,000 of the most heavenly islands in the world.
It's still not the most obvious beach-holiday destination, but it soon will be. It's becoming particularly popular among serious divers, who come for the incredible underwater life, unspoilt coral gardens with rainbow-bright fish, green sea turtles and dugongs.
