THE Global Tourism Business Association has thrown its support for proposals to have the Philippines join the growing list of countries offering 'nomad visas' as a means to boost tourism.The push for Philippine-issued nomad visas has gained some momentum after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the drafting of an executive order for its immediate implementation without tax incentives.A pilot country for the initiative will also be selected.
Currently, over 50 countries are offering some form of remote work visa to cater to skilled professionals and entrepreneurs looking to scale businesses.'We've got Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia offering this type of visa, and the Philippines needs to stay competitive to attract digital nomads. This also brings us a lot of opportunities to expand the tourism job market and help small-scale businesses with more long-term visitors coming in,' Taylan said.
