Cristina Agapita Pacres, tourism officer in this city, said some of the big conventions and events scheduled in Albay were postponed when the alert level over the volcano was raised to 3 in June 2023 last year. "Actually, compared to 2022, the tourist arrival last year increased because there were still visitors who were curious about the eruption of the volcano, although there were events postponed because of fear [of eruption]," Pacres said in a telephone interview on Thursday.

granville island places to visit :: Article Creator 14 Glorious Things To Do In Vancouver, The 'California Of Canada' It was a sunny day in Vancouver, Canada. From the beach at English Bay (like Santa Monica, but cleaner), you could see snow atop the mountains and hear kids laughing. After a bike ride in Stanley Park (like Griffith Park, but with beaches), I had just bought a hot dog from a cart and taken two bites when a voice rang out. "No," it shouted, started and helpless. That's when everyone by the beach turned my way, with faces showing great concern. Because it was my voice. A sea gull had swooped, grabbed my hot dog and carried it away.
