The Philippines leadership is optimistic that tourism revenue will continue to rise in the upcoming months, after January saw tourism revenues exceed pre-pandemic levels.
According to the Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary, tourism revenues reached $1.1 billion in January, and with improved immigration processes, continued growth within the sector is expected.
The official noted that the uptick “means foreign tourists are not afraid to visit our country”.
In January and February, the Philippines welcomed 1.1 million visitors, according to Department of Tourism data.
