The shift to GCQ (with "heightened restrictions") reopened the tourism industry once more, including many hotels and resorts heavily affected by the pandemic's long lockdown.
According to the Department of Tourism, a total of 5,986 rooms in 13 staycation hotels in Metro Manila are open for guests eager for a change of scenery, even if it's only a staycation.
That said, DOT has been strict in its decision to allow these staycation hotels to operate, allowing only those that can provide guests with the safest stay possible courtesy of countless health protocols and requirements.
