Since November 30, 2020, El Nido has entered the phase two of its reopening plan: tourists from outside Palawam are now welcomed in town! For non Palawan tourists who wish to visit the best island of 2020, a number of steps are required to enter El Nido. Among them, a reservation in an accommodation with DOT’s Certificate of Authority to Operate (CATO) is a must: that’s good, because Coco Resort and Moringa Resort are both accredited!
Required steps of the phase two
Before arriving
As per official guidelines, visitors are expected to:
- Visit the official tourism website at elnidotourism.ph for more information and get their QR-coded tourist ID (QT-ID)
- Once visiting official website, visitors can register themselves and generate a QT-ID under Menu > More > Get QR-coded tourist ID
- For processing, visitors should submit:
- a filled health declaration form
- a negative RT-PCR swab test result accomplished within the last 48 hours prior flying to El Nido
- a reservation proof from an accommodation with DOT’s CATO
- a travel itinerary accomplished through a local travel agency in El Nido
It’s highly recommended for visitors to keep a physical or electronic copy of their generated QT-ID at all times – in case of random checks.
Upon arrival in El Nido
Upon arrival (by flight with AirSwift company or by sea), visitors have to undergo health checks and documents verification at the Tourist-One-Stop-Site (TOSS).
Once passed through these first checks, other sanitation checks will occured during the visitor’s stay:
- at check-in and out in an certificated accommodation establishment – such as Coco Resort or Moringa Resort
- in every tourism-related enterprises or institutions
