“These are exciting times for Philippine tourism. We have been ready since 2020,” then Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat told CNN Philippines.
Consultations Between Agencies and the Private Sector
The DOT has been consulting with several entities for months, assessing the COVID-19 situation before welcoming tourists back to the country. A reopening of borders to international tourists will also help domestic tourism.
“Extensive consultations have happened between the DOT, the IATF, and the private sector through the TCP and through some other tourism organizations in the country,” said Tourism Congress of the Philippines (TCP) president Jojo Clemente to CNN. “We have done our best to anticipate all kinds of situations, all kinds of things that would happen as we reopen.”
