REVENGE travel has put the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority in a better financial position, collecting over P2.1 billion in gross travel taxes from January to December 12, 2022.
“Now that the Philippines and other countries have more relaxed Covid-19 restrictions, we expect a spike in our number of outbound travels, especially to countries such as South Korea, wherein Filipino tourists are allow visa-free entries to Gangwon Province and the Seoul Metropolitan Area,” he said. Tieza is targeting to collect some P2.3 billion in travel taxes this year and hopes to return to the pre-pandemic collection level by 2024.
Lapid said among the “fast, convenient and hassle-free” ways for travelers to pay their travel tax is by using MYEG Philippines Inc. partner e-wallets such as GCash, Maya, GrabPay and ShopeePay; through online bank transfers via BDO, BPI, RCBC, Unionbank and Maybank; or thru their Visa, Mastercard and JCB credit and debit cards.
