The hotel spa at the Phase 2 of the Flushing Meadows property in Bohol offers the local version of the traditional massage therapy practiced in the rural areas of the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Philippines&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Believed to have healing capabilities, the traditional massage has had positive feedbacks from foreign tourists who have tried it, and is now hoped to put the wellness program of the Flushing Meadows and Resort among the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt; appeals that draw in visitors to the island.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.flushingmeadows.com.ph/blog/2007/08/flushing-meadows-wellness-tourism-haven.html' title='Flushing Meadows: Wellness tourism haven in Bohol'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3593357614096420878&amp;postID=1037566230473776176' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.flushingmeadows.com.ph/blog/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3593357614096420878/posts/default/1037566230473776176'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3593357614096420878/posts/default/1037566230473776176'/><author><name>VisMin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593357614096420878.post-7604507086769163160</id><published>2007-08-21T16:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-21T16:23:37.418+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bohol'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flushing Meadows Resort'/><title type='text'>Bohol: “First among equals”</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It isn’t for nothing that the “Beaches Plus” label that Bohol has been using to promote the province is not applicable now to the other tourism hubs across the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Philippines&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. It has since become exclusively Bohol’s, a title which the island-province south of the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Philippines&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; can reputably lay claim to. It has &lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Panglao&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Island&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;, one of the fine beaches in the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Philippines&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt;, lest one forgets, has been primarily known for the Chocolate Hills, its lush vegetation, and abundant wildlife.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As Bohol positions the province as the “first among equals” of the Philippine’s famed getaways, the government of Bohol teams up with the local business sector in presenting a new face of &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt; to the international community. Called “Bohol Countryside Tour,” the latest tourism thrust of Bohol institutionalizes the Bohol tour packages that acquaint Guests with different &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt; attractions. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Flushing Meadows, one of the prime &lt;a href="http://www.flushingmeadows.com.ph/" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;hotels in Bohol&lt;/a&gt;, sets its sight on acquainting Asian tourist with the different Bohol attractions through the in-house tour desk at their hotel in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt;. The &lt;a href="http://www.flushingmeadows.com.ph/"&gt;Flushing Meadows resort&lt;/a&gt; and hotel in Bohol is located at the &lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Panglao&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Island&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;—the renowned tourism hub of Central &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Visayas&lt;/st1:city&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Philippines&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. Beyond its vibrant beaches and plush accommodations set in a tropical paradise, the Flushing Meadows resort and hotel in Bohol gets Guests intimate with Bohol through the varied activities one can do in &lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Panglao&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Island&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;, &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;With the Flushing Meadows tour desk at its hotel in Bohol, Guests can go on a banca ride to the Bohol and &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Pamilican&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Seas&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, where dolphins, manta rays, and whales frolic before heading into the setting sun. There is a so-called off season for these sea creatures though, a time when they are hard to spot, and Guests can instead opt to go scuba diving or sailing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After a day in the sea, the Flushing Meadows resort and hotel in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt; welcomes Guests to its snug and vibrant facilities for a relaxing night. Guests will need that, for sure, because the next day, the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt; outdoors await! Explore caves in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt;. Go mountain trekking and into the natural reserves of &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt; to see the world-renowned Tarsiers. Ride a mountain bike and experience &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt; with the sun warm on your body and the wind blowing on your face.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt;, nature comprises the soul of the province. From its sea and into the mountains, &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bohol&lt;/st1:place&gt; is endowed with a wide variety of attractions that can make Guests of the Flushing Meadows not merely acquainted, but probably in love, with this Philippine province.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.flushingmeadows.com.ph/blog/2007/08/bohol-first-among-equals.html' title='Bohol: “First among equals”'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3593357614096420878&amp;postID=7604507086769163160' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.flushingmeadows.com.ph/blog/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3593357614096420878/posts/default/7604507086769163160'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3593357614096420878/posts/default/7604507086769163160'/><author><name>VisMin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593357614096420878.post-5026741427339526999</id><published>2007-08-15T15:39:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-21T16:02:30.567+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flushing Meadows Resort'/><title type='text'>Welcome to Flushing Meadows Resort Journal</title><content type='html'>Flushing Meadows Resort Journal is where you can know more about Flushing Meadows Resort and Panglao Island Bohol.
