Owning a property in Cebu, Philippines

Image
Cebu is a city and center of the province with the same name in the central part of the Philippines. Located in the eastern area of the country, it’s considered the “Queen City of the South” because it easily rivals the nation’s capital (Manila) in terms of infrastructure, investors and aggressive development that’s constantly happening in the city. But aside from the beautiful city, the towns in the province are just stunning. Almost every town in the province has something to offer and as you go farther, the exotic beauty of Cebu is increasingly revealed. As the city and the towns are located near the sea, beaches are highly accessible. In 10 minutes by taxi, you should be able to reach the shore or visit one of the beautiful resorts in the city. Cebu even has a district which is an island – Mactan. This beautiful island is where the international airport is located. The main business districts are a little bit far from the airport but transportation is no problem. Unfortunately,

Property investment in Bolivia

Bolivia is an increasingly popular destination not only for a short vacation but a place to stay for an extended period. Its simple way of life on the rural area coupled with an almost untouched natural beauty is slowly attracting tourists around the world. Because the country is still on its development phase, properties in Bolivia are not that expensive yet. This creates a great opportunity for those who are seeking properties to invest in for the future. A simple search for available properties in Bolivia will reveal a beautiful town of Magdalena.

Chisinau may not be one of the first cities to be considered when it comes to European vacation, but it’s a beautiful city waiting to be discovered. As the capital of Moldova, the city enjoys the most luxuries a city would have but with a big difference. Moldova is not a rich country. In fact, it is the poorest country in Europe. That means the capital could be busy with some of its business and political activities, but it’s a quite neighborhood that offers easy access to various places in the capital and in the country. The best thing about Chisinau is that it’s very close to everything. Although relatively big, almost every Chisinau landmark could be reached in one bus ride (taxis are relatively expensive). Although Chisinau has experienced rapid changes for the past few years, it’s still one of the greenest cities in Europe. You can find gardens that spread for acres in almost every part of the city. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the capital has become open to tourists. The C

Merely two hours from Bangkok, tourists can enjoy the beauty of the beach and the hospitality of the locals with only after a few hours of travel in the country. Pattaya even has an advantage over Phuket. Pattaya is connected to the mainland which means tourists can reach Pattaya by land. Phuket on the other hand, is an island which will require tourists an additional plane ride before they arrive in the island. Its connection to the mainland is also one of the reasons why the city is rapidly expanding. Business is growing the in the city while tourism is improving significantly. If you’re looking for a holiday property in Pattaya, you have two options. The first option to purchase a property that offers a beach from view on a condominium. Because of the popularity
