Leisure travel to and from Metro Manila and surrounding provinces can resume starting Tuesday, June 1, the Department of Tourism said as the Greater Manila Area remains under general community quarantine.

The government's inter-agency task force on COVID-19 response has allowed leisure travel from Metro Manila, Bulacan, Laguna Cavite, and Rizal to areas under modified general community quarantine or MGCQ according to the tourism department.

There is no age restriction but travelers below 18 and above 65 years old should have a negative COVID-19 test result before travel.
