Sulong Turismo: My GCash Adventure in Bohol

Last week, I embarked on an unforgettable GCash adventure in Bohol, witnessing the launch of the innovative Sulong Turismo campaign. As I explored the island's captivating beauty, I was immersed in the world of cashless tourism, discovering the wonders of GCash in every aspect of my journey.

Embracing Cashless Convenience

From the moment I set foot on Bohol's shores, I felt a sense of excitement knowing that I wouldn't need to carry my wallet everywhere. With GCash, I had the power of digital payments at my fingertips, making every transaction effortless and convenient. Gone were the days of fumbling for cash; with just a few taps on my phone, I could pay for everything, from booking accommodations to indulging in delicious local treats.

A Culinary Adventure with GCash

Bohol's culinary scene proved to be a delightful playground for my GCash adventure. I started off with a filling lunch at Smoque Bistro in Tagbilaran, settling the bill via GCash. Later, we had a food trip at Alona Beach, enjoying sumptuous Filipino delicacies at Lamoy and delectable sweet offerings at Wild Crepes.

At Panglao Public Market, I relished in the freshest 1-peso mango shake, and with a quick scan of a QR code, I was able to complete my purchase without handling cash. It was a delightful experience to savor the local flavors and witness how seamlessly GCash integrated into public market stalls.

Exploring Bohol's Treasures

I was thrilled to discover that GCash extended its reach to embrace the island's treasures - the amazing Boholano delicacies. I couldn't resist bringing home some of Bohol's famous pasalubongs, like Calamay from Jagna, Peanut Kisses, and the goodies from Bohol Bee Farm. With GCash, these delightful treats were just a scan away, making souvenir and pasalubong shopping a breeze.

A Seamless Island Experience

What impressed me most was how GCash had become an integral part of Bohol's island experience. From settling environmental fees for preservation efforts to paying for bangka rides, GCash facilitated every step of my journey. I was delighted to find that I could also show appreciation to talented blind musicians and bangka attendants through digital tips, further enhancing the warmth and hospitality of Bohol's tourism.

Digital Ecosystem and Hope for the Future

My GCash adventure in Bohol opened my eyes to the promising future of Philippine tourism. The Sulong Turismo campaign showcases the power of digitalization in invigorating the industry and creating a seamless, enjoyable travel experience. As I interacted with the local community and experienced the warm embrace of the LGU and Department of Tourism's support, I couldn't help but feel hopeful for the future of tourism in the Philippines.

My GCash adventure in Bohol was nothing short of extraordinary. The Sulong Turismo campaign has set the stage for a new era of cashless convenience in tourism, making every aspect of my journey smoother and more enjoyable.
