If you and your family are avid followers of the SEA Games and you already have tickets to your favorite events, why not go all the way and add quick tour iteneraries as well!
The Department of Tourism recently launched a microsite to help you make the most out of your SEA Games experience through local travel (you may want to book a few for your balikbayans and foreigner friends, too, as these reservations are not only limited to the duration of the SEA Games). Just remember to check the weather!
