The tourism industry in Oslob town, southern Cebu, incurred at least P30 million in losses due to the community quarantine that the government imposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (2019). Whale watching tours made Oslob as one of the top tourist destinations in the province. Mayor Jose Tumulak said the pandemic has affected the town so much that some projects that were supposed to be implemented next year will no longer push through.
