The islands of Biri and Capul in Northern Samar marked a tourism milestone on Wednesday after an Australian cruise ship made its port call in the province, the first such visit since the Eastern Visayas region’s inclusion in cruise tourism in 2013. The arrival of Coral Adventurer in the province and its guests’ visit to Biri and Capul have stirred excitement and potential for future tourism activities, opening doors for foreign and local travelers to explore Northern Samar, according to the provincial tourism office.
