Why these tags

Heritage

From the sources

“Banton is an eco-tourism and heritage destination due to its beaches, diving sites, caves, churches and Spanish-era fortifications.”

Diving

From the sources

“The island's waters are also well-known dive sites, with corals that serve as breeding ground for groupers, snappers, sharks, and stingrays.”

Caves

From the sources

“Banton is thought to have been inhabited by Filipinos since the pre-colonial period, based on analysis of human remains, coffins, an ancient burial cloth and other archaeological finds discovered at the Guyangan Cave System by the National Museum in 1936.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.
