Event Details
As one of the greatest contributors to the Philippine economy, tourism has made its mark by advancing national economic advantages. The industry features the country's beauty and vibrancy as it progresses businesses and assets. The Philippines, with its 7,641 islands, offers diverse leisure options not only for tourists but also for Filipinos as well. Especially known for its hospitable citizens, it is evident that the country has a competitive advantage in the tourism experience it offers to the world. However, the Philippines is not the only state that possesses such leverage. It is also undeniable that the travel and tourism sector has been massively affected by the COVID-19 due to health risks and mobility restrictions. Employees have been laid off, gatherings canceled, and other operations temporarily halted while some have ceased.
The world has recognized and admired us the Filipino resilience. While the COVID-19 pandemic still exists, this does not stop us from moving forward. It also urges us to strive harder. Through collective and collaborative efforts, we continue to adapt to the situation, slowly take the road towards recovery during these trying times, and celebrate progress and small victories.
