Q: What is TravelBook.ph?
A: TravelBook.ph is a comprehensive travel website that aims to help you as you plan your travels. Whether it’s for a real vacation or a virtual tour, TravelBook.ph has everything you need to plan a successful and fun trip, whatever your traveling style—all arranged and organized in easy-to-find, easy-to-use, and easy-to-read sections: Destination Guides, Trip Ideas, and a Supplier Directory. (See below.)

A: TravelBook.ph has three main sections:
A series of Destination Guides that provide general information on key provinces and cities, including attractions to see, activities to do, transport information, and other details;
Trip Files that share other travelers’ experiences and summarize the attractions and establishments they visited and, where applicable, the fees they paid to give readers ideas for planning their own similar trips;
And finally, a comprehensive Directory of travel-related suppliers—from hotels and resorts, travel agencies, dive instructors, local government tourism offices, and tour and activity operators—that readers can access to get updated contact information, photos, package rates, and more.

Q: What are the different kinds of Trip Files?
A: There are three kinds of Trip Files:
Real Trips, which lay out a traveler's complete itinerary, which includes the establishments the traveler visited, the mode of transportation used, the expenses for each leg of the trip, and so on;
Trip Highlights, which share a traveler's experience with a particular cultural attraction, establishment, product, or service; and
Trip Ideas, which provides a comprehensive guide or a traveler's general insights about a place he or she is familiar with, and offers recommendations for set itineraries that readers may want to try themselves.

Q: What is MyTravelBook.ph?
A: MyTravelBook.ph is a soon-to-be-unveiled feature of TravelBook.ph that will allow members to create their own profiles, plan their own vacations by adding and organizing new trips with their chosen attractions and establishments, and discuss their own travel experiences and ideas with other members in the forums.

Q: Can I book my flight, accommodation, and other travel services through TravelBook.ph?
