# Pricing Research Wave 6

Updated: August 14, 2026

## Cebu City, Philippines

**Status: Beta candidate.**

Several current 2026 sources provide single-person housing, food, and transport categories. This is enough for an owner-review range, but the final display must identify the neighborhood and air-conditioning assumption because both can materially change the cost.

## Dumaguete, Philippines

**Status: Beta candidate.**

Official destination guidance provides current solo visitor daily food, private-room, and local transport components. Current local and expat sources provide a check against resident housing and food context. The final model must make diving, resorts, and out-of-town excursions optional, because they are not an ordinary daily expense.

## Ubud, Indonesia

**Status: Beta candidate.**

Current traveler data supports accommodation, food, sightseeing, and local transportation inputs. A separate current Bali short-stay source supports the idea that a simple private room, local food, scooter transport, and limited activities can be calculated as a daily plan. Ubud should remain distinct from Canggu and Seminyak because their dining and lodging price pressures differ.

## Sanur, Indonesia

**Status: Partial components.**

Current sources describe Sanur lodging and attractions, but there is not yet a reliable, current solo 30-day total with comparable food, transport, activity, and buffer categories. Keep `Research in progress` in the public tool for now.

## Publication safeguard

All beta candidates still require a visible source table and Douglas's approval of the proposed low, middle, and high values before any website deployment.
