OS Maps App
Ordnance Survey maps used to be the default travel guide for anyone above a certain age who remembers a time when you left the house without a mobile phone.

‘World’s best island’ reopens to local tourists in Philippines
MANILA, Oct 11 (dpa): Boracay Island, among the Philippines’ most popular destinations thanks to its white sandy beaches, has reopened to more local tourists, nearly seven months since inter-island travel was halted in the country amid a coronavirus lockdown.
The holiday hotspot, once voted the best island in the world by Conde Nast Traveller magazine, is now open to tourists from all over the Philippines.
Until now, the island, 311km south of Manila, only allowed visitors from nearby provinces.
International travellers, still subject to entry restrictions, will have to wait, however.
Before the pandemic, the island had previously been shut down entirely after the country’s president condemned it as a “cesspool” and ordered the temporary closing to all visitors in 2018.
The government now hopes the reopening of Boracay would jump-start the revival of its tourism industry, which has been badly hit by the coronavirus outbreak.

(The Freeman) – October 9, 2020 – 12:00am
As mentioned in an earlier editorial, the few pieces of good news we get every once in a while are always worth sharing and glossing over. And the latest good news we got was that Cebu was judged by an international lifestyle magazine as the top island in Asia for 2020.
According to the 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards of Condé Nast Traveler, which features destination guides and other travel spots around the world, Cebu tops a list of five Asian islands. It bested Sri Lanka Ko Pha Ngan in Thailand, Palawan, and Siargao Island.
Boracay, which is touted as having the best beaches in the Philippines, was not even in the list in sixth place.

Although hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic as have other tourist destinations, Kyoto still ranks as a world favorite for travelers.
The U.S. travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler has ranked Japan’s ancient capital as the world’s best large city in its 2020 readers’ choice poll, which excludes the United States.
It is the first time its readers selected Kyoto as their top choice, although it ranked second the previous year.

Kyoto has struggled during the pandemic as foreign tourism to Japan nosedived this year because of the virus. The number of foreigners who stayed at major hotels in Kyoto in July dropped by 99.8 percent compared to July last year.
