THE PHILIPPINES DID IT AGAIN as it bags, for the fourth straight year, the Asia’s Leading Dive Destination recognition at the 29th World Travel Awards (WTA) 2022. 🏆
The WTA 2022 win is a true testament to the superior quality of dive tourism the country offers. The Philippines edged out other dive tourism giants such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. 🌊
”This is such an affirmation to all of our tourism stakeholders and workers who have greatly sacrificed throughout the pandemic. As the government identifies tourism to be a major pillar for economic recovery, we look to the future with hope that tourism will even thrive, endure, and will get back stronger than ever,” Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco said in a video message to the WTA organizers.
”We are ready to receive you in the Philippines. We look forward to your visit and I invite each and every one of you to visit our beaches, our dive sites and our tourist destinations,” Secretary Frasco added.
