Most travel agencies in China have suspended tours to the Philippines amid escalating tension in the South China Sea, Chinese state media say.
An official at one agency confirmed the suspension to the BBC, while another said clients were being warned not to travel.

Harmoni Holidays is a seven-member local consortium of travel agents, initiated by CTC Travel. Formed in 2007, Harmoni Holidays leverages on both the Muslim travel agent members’ understanding of the Muslim community’s needs and the network available these travel agents.
The consortium offers a wide variety of customized out-bound travel packages to destinations such as Japan, Korea, China and Turkey especially for the Muslim community. Harmoni Holidays aims to address the difficulties Muslim customers face in obtaining halal meals and carrying out their religious obligations conveniently when traveling overseas.
From the Everland Theme Park in Korea to the Cumalikizki, a 700 year-old Ottoman Village in Turkey, customers will be spoilt for choice with the wide range of destinations available. The tour packages have also been designed specially to cater to Muslim considerations – with Halal meals and mosque visits (for selected packages) included in the itineraries to ensure Muslim travelers with maximum convenience and ease during their trips.
Muslim customers can explore destinations in various continents with good English/Malay speaking guides, and fulfill their religious obligations including halal meals, prayer times, and mosque visits. Harmoni Holidays’ packages are distributed at each of the consortium members’ outlets.
To date, we have group tours to Japan, Korea, Beijing and Hong Kong which have been successfully conducted since May 2007.
“While Muslim tour packages have been available here, what we have done is also to provide our Muslim customers a wider range of destinations to choose from. By working closely with our partners to customize and build into the itinerary, as far as possible, the same conveniences that they enjoy at home, we hope to provide our Muslim travelers the same kind of quality travel experience that CTC Travel stands for, to literally anywhere in the world”.
