(SPOT.ph) Do you have relatives coming back home or visiting the Philippines? If they’re looking to tour the city, without the hassle of building the itinerary from scratch, the Department of Tourism (DOT) has launched Hop On, Hop Off (HoHo) bus tours that go around different neighborhoods in Metro Manila. Early this February, they introduced the new “Entertainment Hub” that goes around the Pasay and Parañaque.

Here’s what you need to know about the Hop On, Hop Off bus tour’s Entertainment Hub:

The Entertainment Hub gets its name because the route brings its passengers to the different entertainment complexes in the Pasay and Parañaque areas. There are 13 bus stops for this HoHo route, which are Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminals 1, 2, and 3, Newport World Resorts, City of Dreams, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, Parqal, Okada Manila, Solaire Resort, Luxe Duty Free, MOA Main Stop, SMX Convention Center, and MOA Seaside.

Since NAIA is part of the itinerary, it’s a perfect way to kill time if you have a long layover in Manila. Don’t worry if you have limited time before your flight, the idea behind these bus tours is that it gives the passengers the freedom to choose which stops they want to go to, and how long they want to stay.

The Entertainment Hub is the third route launched, following Makati (also called HoHo Business) and Manila (Cultural Hubs) which were both launched last year. According to the HOHO website, more routes will be launched soon, namely, the Lifestyle Hub which explores Taguig; the Mind Hub which goes around the different educational institutions in Quezon City; the Heart Hub which goes through Pasig, San Juan, and Mandaluyong.

Tours can be booked via the HoHo app, available to download for iOS and Android users.
