DOT, Newport World Resorts Forge Partnership to Boost Entertainment Tourism in the Philippines

Manila- The Department of Tourism (DOT) and Newport World Resorts have formalized a partnership aimed at strengthening entertainment as a key pillar of Philippine tourism, with live performances, cultural productions, culinary experiences, and leisure attractions positioned as important components of destination development.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed on September 1, bringing together the government’s tourism promotion efforts and Newport World Resorts’ portfolio of entertainment and hospitality offerings.
Under the agreement, the DOT will integrate Newport World Resorts’ attractions and experiences into its “Love the Philippines” and “Discover More to Love” campaigns.

The partnership will also support the promotion of original Filipino productions and create opportunities to connect Newport World Resorts with tourism stakeholders both in the Philippines and in international markets.

For its part, Newport World Resorts will develop integrated stay, dine, and watch packages designed to encourage experiential travel. These packages are expected to combine accommodation, dining and entertainment into convenient experiences for visitors.

The resort will also develop visitor itineraries centered on Metro Manila and explore promotional rates and ticket offers that can transform national tourism campaigns into bookable and ready-to-enjoy experiences for travelers.

The DOT said the collaboration highlights the growing role of entertainment in attracting visitors and encouraging them to spend more time exploring destinations.
By combining tourism promotion with Filipino entertainment, culture, food and hospitality, the partnership seeks to give both domestic and international travelers more reasons to discover Metro Manila and other Philippine destinations.

The initiative forms part of the country’s broader efforts to expand the tourism experience beyond traditional attractions and showcase the Philippines as a destination where travelers can stay, dine, watch, experience and discover more.

The DOT and Newport World Resorts’ partnership is expected to further position Philippine entertainment and cultural productions as tourism products while supporting the country’s goal of offering more diverse and immersive experiences under the Love the Philippines campaign.
