THE CROWN JEWEL"| | |  | | Doubtless,
Bohol is the new darling of the discriminating tourist. But uneasy herein lays
the head that wears the crown - for it needs refining to stay Top Gun.
The
beauty of Bohol is that in one effortless day, a tourist can |

world-class facilities. The service is not at par with a jaded tourist's discriminating
taste. We are not saying there should be no less expensive places to go for indeed
they serve a distinct market which also deserves to see Nature's wonders.
