"DOT sees this development as a victory for the local tourism industry as attracting more tourists to the country will bring more revenue to our SMEs (micro, small and medium sized enterprises) and restore more jobs and livelihoods to the industry." he added.

While travel insurance is not required, it is still highly recommended for inbound travelers. Regardless of the country of origin, all types of vaccination certificates are also accepted.

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Tourism, 517,516 foreigners visited the Philippines from February 10 to May 25, 2022.
