The visit of the cruise ship ms EUROPA in Kalanggaman Island in the town of Palompon, Leyte, is a boost to the local tourism industry of the province.

Department of Tourism (DOT) regional director Karina Rosa Tiopes said that ms EUROPA’s visit in the island had proved that we are capable in hosting foreign tourists on cruise ships.

She said the national office of the Tourism department did not include the region in the cruise ship route as there are no ports here that could accommodate large ships.

“But the visit of EUROPA had proved them wrong because we had showed them that we are capable for it even we don’t have big ports,” Tiopes said.

Around 400 tourists aboard ms EUROPA visited Kalanggaman, an island with a turquoise crystal clear water, fine white sand, and a diver’s haven.

Kalanggaman has two sand bars that jut out at sea where the eastern sand bar stretches over 200 meters into the sea, the other sand bar is shorter on the other side.
