New Rules in Sagada to be Strictly Implemented this Holiday Season

All tour groups, travel agencies, and solo travelers will now be required to register for tours at the Tourism Information Office. To date, there are only 800 certified tour guides and six tour associations in town. Each tour guide is limited to a maximum of 10 guests per destination. To avoid a repeat of the standstill traffic, new guidelines on transportation and traffic were also added. Private vehicles are no longer permitted to go to and from tour sites, only registered public transport vehicles will be allowed. Tourists are now obligated to leave their cars in their hotel parking lot or in a pay parking area throughout their stay. This rule will encourage guests to explore the picturesque mountain town by foot and appreciate its beauty the best way possible.

In order to keep Sagada a responsible tourism destination, all visitors are encouraged to bring their own refillable bottles and tumblers, disposable water bottles will not be sold. Designated disposal areas are strategically placed around the area to ensure a cleaner and greener Sagada. Planning to visit Sagada over the holidays?
