DOT extends leisure travel to MGCQ areas until June 30

The Department of Tourism (DOT) has extended leisure travel from NCR Plus areas to destinations under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) until June 30.

This allows all ages to travel from NCR Plus to Boracay and other MGCQ areas, subject to certain restrictions.

Individuals below 18 and above 65 years old will still require a negative RT-PCR test before travel.

Tourists originating from Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal are limited to point-to-point travel exclusively to GCQ and MGCQ areas.

Outdoor tourist attractions in GCQ areas, including NCR and Bulacan, may operate at 50 percent capacity, while those in Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal may operate at 30 percent capacity.

Indoor tourist attractions such as museums and historical sites are allowed to operate at 50 percent capacity in GCQ areas, at 30 percent in the NCR and Bulacan, and are not allowed in Laguna, Cavite, and Rizal.

Essential meetings and events are allowed in GCQ areas at up to 50 percent capacity, with exceptions for NCR and Bulacan where social events are allowed at up to 10 percent capacity.

The DOT aims to revive the jobs of displaced tourism workers through these extended liberal movements.
