In a television interview on Thursday, Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco noted that about 2.6 million tourists visited the country last year. "As far as 2023 is concerned, the target is to double that number to around a minimum of 4.8 million tourists," she said. The country's target for international arrivals was 1.7 million in 2022. "We far exceeded this target by almost a million arrivals, especially considering that we've only reopened our borders in February of 2022," Frasco said. The national government has implemented the 'eTravel' system to help the DOT achieve its goal of enticing more tourists in 2023. It is a one-stop electronic travel declaration system that replaced the One Health Pass. The DOT and the Department of Transportation are also working on the improvement of the Ninoy Aquino Internatio
