Souvenir Shopping: Supporting Local Weavers and Artists

Inspired by Philippine Department of Tourism themes: sustainable travel, community, and safety in Palawan.

Souvenir Shopping: Supporting Local Weavers and Artists is part of the Coron experience visitors seek when exploring Northern Palawan. The Philippine Department of Tourism promotes safe, value-driven, and sustainable travel across the archipelago.

When visiting Coron, plan island activities with licensed tour operators, respect marine protected areas, and follow briefing rules for lagoons and wrecks. Carry reef-safe sunscreen and minimize single-use plastics in support of community-led coastal stewardship.

Busuanga Airport (USU) is the main gateway; tricycles and vans connect to Coron town. Cash (Philippine peso) is still widely used for island hopping, so bring small bills where possible.

For official travel advisories and campaigns, refer to the Department of Tourism (Philippines) and local LGU notices before your trip.
