Filipinos in traditional attire on Tuesday played bamboo marimbas and handed out necklaces and gifts to their first Chinese visitors since before the pandemic, seeking to lure back tourists after China’s scrapping of its COVID-19 curbs.
Chinese travelers no longer need to quarantine on return home and holiday bookings have surged from what was the world’s largest outbound travel market in 2019.
China was the Philippines’ second-largest tourism market, with 1.7 million visitors in 2019, government data showed. “I have not gone to any countries. I am very happy now,” said Atsushih Amemye, 28, after he passed through immigration.
