Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco then enjoins Filipinos, as well as tourists who have been to and have plans of visiting the Philippines to vote for the country.
“We are grateful to the World Travel Awards for reaffirming the global importance of the Philippines in tourism and travel. This is evinced in our stunning landscapes, award-winning beaches, mega biodiverse dive destinations, diverse culture, rich heritage, and hospitality excellence. The Philippines’ nominations in the World Travel Awards Asia is a testament to the hard work of the men and women of the tourism industry in the public and private sector across our many communities in the country, and an affirmation of the Marcos administration’s thrust towards tourism transformation. I encourage our fellow Filipinos and friends from all over the world to vote for the Philippines!”, she said.
