Revenues from the country’s tourism industry reached an estimated P282.17 billion for the first half of the year, according to the Department of Tourism (DOT).
The amount collected from Jan. 1 to June 30 was 32.81 percent higher than the P212.47 billion collected during the same period in 2023.
“This 32.81-percent rise from last year’s figures not only showcases the growing appeal of the Philippines as a premier travel destination but also underscores the tangible benefits that tourism brings to our economy and our people,” Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco said.
