Like other countries, the Philippines closed its borders to foreign tourists when the deadly coronavirus started to spread early last year. According to the DOT's plan, fully vaccinated tourists will be welcome and whisked straight to the tourist destinations without the need for hotel quarantine. Famous for powdery white sand, shallow azure water, and spectacular sunsets, Boracay is a favorite destination for international tourists.
Aside from the sun and beach tourist destinations that the country is well-known for, the DOT also spotlights new and enhanced bike tours, dive circuits, farm and food tourism circuits, hiking and trekking, and outdoor museums through historical and cultural tours, among others. As a key economic driver, the tourism industry's contribution to the Philippines' gross domestic product stood at 12.7 per cent in 2019, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority data.
