What travellers from the Philippines should book ahead

Most travellers from the Philippines keep plans fairly flexible, and many activities can be arranged a day or two before travel; still, the earliest planners typically book around the stated early-days mark, and booking ahead matters most in the peak months. If you’re travelling during the busiest months, lock in popular tours earlier to secure preferred dates.
