The DOT regional offices in Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas and the Negros Island Region (NIR) have crafted three tour packages under the "One Visayas" tourism circuit, each lasting at least eight days.

One of the circuits is the "UNESCO heritage and gastronomy trails," which features Iloilo City, Iloilo province, Bacolod City, Tacloban City, Samar province, Cebu and the UNESCO Global Geopark in Bohol.

Visitors will not only see UNESCO World Heritage Site Miag-ao Church in Iloilo but also savor local specialties such as La Paz batchoy, Bacolod's chicken inasal and Cebu lechon.
