Bohol and Cebu lose tourists due to earthquake

Death toll from the Cebu Bohol earthquake (which struck last October 15) reached 185;  what is more lamentable is the death of tourist industry in Bohol. Panglao is now a dead town after cancellation of bookings.

Two type of deaths arrived  in Bohol?

What is going to be the future of Bohol.   Bohol is an agricultural economy depending of few produce from its rocky terrain and fishing.  The eco tourism:  from Panglao island and Carmen, church visits, brought new vigor into the Bohol economy.  But with the destroyed churches, and even defaced Chocolate hills coupled with cancellation at Panglao island bookings (Panglao has become a virtual dead town) what lies ahead for Bohol?

What are the alternatives for Bohol?
