Travel and tours of 1970’s i
n the Philippines is not that easy before, transportation from one place to another is hard during that time, considering the geographical situation of the Philippines. Boat and airplane are major transport during that time, but within the island is another question, some are horse or buffalo with cart or they call it “kalesa”.
Local tourist during that time enjoys the simple set up of nature in different places in the Philippines, the natural, God given beauty of nature are enjoyed most by the local tourist. Foods and accommodation during that time is so simple, travel and tours agencies are not well known, it’s a real adventure for the locals, even internet technology is not available were they could search for their travel, they are just dependent on the relatives and friends in the area of their destination, and from there the local suggest where to spend the vacation.
Amenities of the area are not that lucrative like banana boat, skydiving, even swimming pools are not available for them. Tourists are contented of nature trip, horse riding maybe, swimming in the clean and Cool River and beaches. Accommodation in a nipahouse is lik
e a hotel to them.
I did this page in honor of my grandmother Salvacion B. Avaricio who just passed away last July 14, 2009. She also love travel and tours during her time, for 89 years of her life she just wanted to travel in the Philippines, many of her friends and relative wanted her to travel abroad, but she did not, for she said that she did not yet finish traveling the Philippines. She always brings something as remembrance from her travel like stone or wood where she found in the area. How I wish to travel with her today.
So friends, discover the Philippines first before travelling to other places, and that you will experience the God designed landscape and places to be with.
