It is also winter in the northern hemisphere, and tourists come in droves in search of sun, sea, warmth and fun. This season begins in October and ends in May.

 

During the high season, tourists are at their peak, numbering in the thousands across the island. This period also coincides with important holidays that are present in the Philippines, such as Christmas, New Years, Chinese New Years and Easter.
