Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco met with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Friday (Oct. 18) at the World Trade Center to personally present some of the prestigious international awards and recognitions that the Philippines recently garnered, highlighting the country’s growing prominence as a premier global tourism destination.

During the courtesy meeting, Secretary Frasco highlighted the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) efforts to promote the country’s exceptional natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and the renowned hospitality of the Filipino people. These initiatives directly contributed to the Philippines winning several accolades from leading global organizations and publications.

Secretary Frasco presented several awards, such as the recent honors from the World Travel Awards (WTA) Asia and Oceania Gala Ceremony, which the country hosted for the first time in Manila last September. The Philippines was recognized in Asia for being Asia’s Leading Dive Destination to Asia’s Leading Island Destination, Asia’s Leading Beach Destination, Asia’s Leading Wedding Destination (Cebu), Asia’s Leading Luxury Island Destination (Boracay), and Asia’s Leading Tourist Attraction (Intramuros), Asia's Best Marketing Campaign for Love The Philippines, as well as Secretary Frasco’s own Transformational Leader Award in Tourism Governance.

For the 31st WTA this year, the country is also nominated in the Worlds category for Leading Beach Destination, Leading Dive Destination, Leading Island Destination, Leading City Destination for Manila, Leading Wedding Destination for Cebu, Leading Tourist Attraction for Intramuros, Leading Marketing Campaign for Love the Philippines by the DOT, and the DOT as Leading Tourist Board.

The Tourism Chief also proudly shared other accolades the country earned this year, further solidifying the Philippines' status as a must-visit destination globally. These awards include the Best Beach Destination Award from the International Travel Awards in Dubai, Best Ports of Call from the 10th Asia Cruise Awards in Korea, and Best National Tourism Organization for the Tourism Promotions Board from the TTG Travel Awards. Furthermore, the country was also recognized at the GovMedia Conference & Awards for the Tourist Rest Area as the Infrastructure Project of the Year and the Filipino Brand of Service Excellence Program as the Training Program of the Year, among others.

President Marcos received the news with great pride in these achievements, commending the DOT for its excellent work in promoting Philippine tourism, noting the vital role that tourism plays in driving the nation’s economic recovery and strengthening the country’s global standing.

Secretary Frasco expressed her gratitude to the President for his unwavering support to the tourism sector, which has been instrumental in achieving these milestones for the country.

The DOT continues its commitment to enhancing tourism infrastructure, elevating visitor experiences, and promoting sustainable practices to ensure the Philippines remains a top global destination.

DOT Undersecretaries Shahlimar Hofer Tamano, Shereen Gail-Yu Pamintuan and Maria Rica Bueno, Assistant Secretary Gissela Quisumbing, Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Nograles, as well as Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Acting Secretary Cristina Roque and Pasay City Mayor Imelda G.

Love at every step!

The rice terraces in Mayoyao, Ifugao, are a breathtaking symbol of the Philippines’ agricultural heritage. Crafted over 2,000 years ago by the Ifugao people, the five clusters of the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1995, stretch across 10,360 square kilometers of mountainside, dedicated to cultivating rice—the very lifeblood of Filipino cuisine.

Witness the harmony between man and nature when you visit the Philippines.
