Advisory from the Government
The Philippines remains open for business and tourism
Amidst the rising fuel costs and broader economic uncertainties, tourism remains an important source of livelihood for millions of Filipinos, supporting local businesses, workers, and communities nationwide.
In this light, the Department of Tourism shares a range of travel options for those who may still wish to travelโwhether near or farโwhile taking into account current circumstances.

Travelers may also explore a variety of experiences based on their preferences and circumstances, such as: walking or biking tours; farm visits and community-based tourism activities; staycations; wellness and nature escapes within nearby areas; immerse yourself in food culture and discover local cuisines; purchase local products to support Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
These alternatives provide flexible ways to rest and travel meaningfully, depending on individual priorities and resources.
