THE decreasing number of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases has prompted the Cebu City Government to launch its Highland Bloom and Ecotourism project to revive the tourism industry in the city’s mountain barangays.
There are at least 10 barangays tucked in the mountainous areas of Cebu City, including Busay, Tagbao, Malubog, and Sirao, among others.
Many of these mountain barangays are located along the Transcentral Highway or TCH that has become an increasingly popular site for people wanting to unwind yet cannot do so outside Cebu due to travel restrictions brought about by the pandemic.
