With engines humming, the sun beaming, and adventure calling, the 2024 edition of the Tour de Cebu (TDC) captures the essence of Southeast Asia’s first historical rolling museum. Hosted by Be Grand Resort Bohol, this year’s event features 40 stunning vintage automobiles poised to conquer the streets of Bohol.
For eight memorable years, BE Grand Resort Bohol has served as the beloved venue partner and home base for the renowned Tour de Cebu.
After a subtle exposure at the Queen City of Cebu, these prized vehicles manufactured from 1959 to 1978 crossed the waters to embark on a scenic 1000-kilometer journey around the island of Bohol.
The arrival of these classic beauties at Tubigon port was nothing short of mesmerizing. Car enthusiasts, locals, and travelers watched in awe as these meticulously preserved machines set off for their first destination, the BE Grand Resort Bohol.
“As one of the major five star resort destinations in Bohol, we support this kind of event because it will also help us make our brand known as one of the geopark destinations in the Philippines,” cites BE Grand Resort Bohol’s General Manager Rey Fabricante.
Fabricante also amplified that the assemblage will bring in indelible impacts to the resort not only ushering in more foot traffic but it will also drive footprints in the local tourism scene in Bohol, allowing potentials for discovery and patronage.
The decade-long classic car rally isn’t just about completing a course; it’s an experience binding history and horsepower. Further, it celebrates the automotive heritage and magnifies the spirit of camaraderie.
As these remarkable machines continue their expedition through tropical landscapes, BE Grand Resort Bohol remains the perfect setting of their TDC story.
