There are two main classifications of attractions that motivate travel: natural attractions related to geography, plants, animals, and bodies of water; and man-made attractions such as cultural events, entertainment, shopping malls, sports, and places designated by UNESCO for their heritage value. Natural attractions include a location's topography, flora, and fauna, while man-made attractions range from monuments and landmarks to museums documenting history and culture. The Philippines offers tourists many scenic natural attractions thanks to its landscapes and a wealth of cultural festivals and religious events, in addition to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites recognized for their significance.
