Philippines remains as an ideal destination for Foreigners

The Department of Tourism reports that the Philippines remains as an ideal destination with foreign individuals and groups continuing to arrive. So far, no cancellations have been made. Gleaning from the preceding year’s experience, the series of travel advisories on specific areas and isolated areas did not deter tourists from visiting the country. Fortunately, visitor arrivals reached a record high of 3.9 million, 4.6 percent higher than the target of 3.7 million or 11.2 percent more than 3.5 million in 2010. Moreover, major markets continued to sustain double-digit gains.
