During the Asia & Oceania Gala Ceremony 2024 at the City of Dreams held on Tuesday, Sept. 3, the Philippines was honored as Asia’s Leading Dive Destination for the sixth consecutive year since 2019, as it bagged the titles of Asia’s Leading Beach Destination and Asia’s Leading Island Destination. “The past two years have been a period of incredible growth and transformation for the Philippines. Under the leadership of our President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr, we have embarked on a path of dynamic tourism development, investing heavily in infrastructure, improving connectivity across our 7,641 islands, enhancing the overall tourism experience, and most importantly, investing in our greatest asset, our people.
The Philippines also bagged the Asia’s Leading Marketing Campaign 2024 award for Love the Philippines campaign. Last year, the Philippines also bagged several awards at the 30th WTA, including the first-ever Global Tourism Resilience award, which the country proudly shared with four other nations.
“Tourism is not just a driving force for our economy. It is a force for good for our country. The sector has created millions of jobs for Filipinos and empowered our local communities. We are determined to expanding tourism opportunities further by focusing on quality and sustainable tourism, ensuring that every visitor leaves with a deeper appreciation for the beauty and diversity of our nation.
“So, a formal welcome to the 31st Annual World Travel Awards, I will formally acknowledge the importance of the tourism sector to both regional and global economies, for making this incredible evening possible,” the WTA founder added, expressing gratitude to the DOT, national government agencies, and private sector partners, who made the Philippines’ successful hosting of the WTA possible.
