The village is located on the Bojo River in Aloguinsan, Cebu, Philippines. Coming here, visitors can experience rowing along the river or immerse themselves in the beautiful turquoise water to enjoy the nature of the village.

The village recrafted its tourism vision in 2013 and aims to build a “progressive town showcasing sustainable and people-centered development with strong partnership between local government and the community; safe and enjoyable place for residents, visitors and investors.”

So far, the village has achieved many of its goals, as well as trying to balance exploiting tourism and preserving nature. The government here is planning to reinforce cultural and creative tourism and fight product standardization and traditional events distortion.

The Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO initiative was launched to advance the role of tourism in safeguarding rural villages, along with their landscapes, natural and cultural diversity, and their local values and activities, including local gastronomy. These villages stand out for their natural and cultural resources, besides their innovative and transformative actions and commitment to the development of tourism in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The villages were evaluated by an independent advisory board based on a set of criteria: cultural and natural resources; promotion and conservation of cultural resources; economic sustainability; social sustainability; environmental sustainability; tourism potential and development and value chain integration; governance and prioritization of tourism; infrastructure and connectivity; and health, safety and security.
