Tagbilaran City is one of the cities in the Visayas where the old and the new meet. Centuries-old churches as well as new establishments co-exist. It is in this part of the region that religiosity comes to fore.
It may not have a big land area but it boasts of people who have carved good names for the city and for the Province of Bohol. Though frequently visited by typhoons and earthquakes, Tagbilaran City has remained steadfast and its people continue with their daily activities for the further development of the city.
Proof to this is the continued opening of business establishments to cater to the growing needs of the city as well as to the tourists who have made Tagbilaran City a must-see place in the country.
Since it is located in the heart of the Visayas where sea and its by-products abound, it is a haven for tourists who come in the different modes of transportation. It is now one of the docking places in the Visayas for cruise ships.
The Tagbilaran Airport is now closed and the Panglao International Airport now services the needs of travellers both local and foreign. The latter caters to more flights to and from places in the Philippines and also has flights to neighboring Asian nations.
Tagbilaran City is where nature and modern facilities can be found. The famous Alona Beach located in nearby Panglao is one of the favorites of all tourists.
Malls have sprouted in the city. Notable is the absence of big malls can be seen in major cities in the Philippines. Locally-owned establishments dominate the mall scene.
With its newly-renovated city hall, Tagbilaran is really at the forefront not only of Bohol but in Central Visayas as well. Despite the modern times, the city has remained quaint and a bastion of the Catholic faith this side of the country.
