Makati is more than just the country’s central business district. Beyond its towering skyscrapers are hidden gems where you can relax, dine, and experience different cultures. For the first time ever, the Department of Tourism is launching a sightseeing bus that will go around Makati. Here’s what we know about the HOHO bus tour so far:

 

Philippine Hop On Hop Off (HOHO) Travel By the Hubs

On May 28, the Department of Tourism – National Capital Region (DOT-NCR) launched the Hop-On Hop-Off, an integrated travel system bus tour in Makati City. This tour is targeted towards locals and foreigners who wish to explore what the city has to offer by providing various tourism hubs in a single connected trip.

The DOT is also opening a cultural hub in the City of Manila in June. There are also plans to launch in other cities in Metro Manila, then in other cities in the Philippines.
