There are now 28 inland and beachfront resorts in the municipality.  According to tourism officer Joey Gamao, the municipality is also a favorite destination for diving, boasting of, at least, 16 dive sites. GovGen has also lured various bird watching clubs, both national and international, as migratory birds from China, Korea and Japan have made the municipality as one of their stops on their way to Indonesia. While tourism is starting to recover as we continue to brave the pandemic, the DOT and the LGU still require the wearing of face masks, practice physical distancing, regular washing/disinfection of hands, and logging in for possible contact tracing for both locals and visitors.
