According to coverage by the Manila Bulletin and the Philippine Information Agency, the launch event showcased the islands commitment to sustainable tourism practices while inviting visitors to experience everything Samal has to offer — from its famous white sand beaches and island-hopping tours to its growing food and wellness scene.
