When a city is progressing and local business is bustling, the demand for residential developments and hotel accommodations is expected increase.

Translation: “It’s nice to reside in Iloilo nowadays!”

Retirable Ilonggos outside the Philippines now aspire to come home and live in their luxury condo units here in Iloilo City.

Actively working immigrants abroad want properties for temporary residential use when they go home to Iloilo for vacation.
And some just want an Iloilo property because of its real estate potential.

Iloilo City Tourism at an all-time high

Ilonggos want to come home to Iloilo, we get that. But now people — even those without an Ilonggo connection — just want to visit Iloilo.

Iloilo City has now become a destination city.

The figures show that in 2017, Iloilo had 23.21% more tourist arrivals compared to the previous year. And we can speculate that 2018 had even more tourist arrivals — perhaps the largest ever.

No Longer About Dinagyang

The Dinagyang Festival is definitely a big reason for this. But now, it is more than that.

City tourism is no longer only about Dinagyang but it is now because of Iloilo City — its sights, food, culture, progress, and opportunities.

Arguably it is the best city in the Philippines right now.

Dinagyang attracts tourists, yes, but Iloilo City in itself is now an attraction.

Because of the surge of tourists and visitors in Iloilo, the demand for hotels increase.

Megaworld has launched Belmont Hotel Iloilo to operate in late 2022. It will serve as a condohotel which investors can purchase a condo property but will be leased to function as a suite of a 4-star hotel. Unit owners (investors) will have a share of the profits of the hotel.
