In 2024, the Philippines welcomed 1,574,152 visitors from South Korea, representing an 8.1% increase from last year.

“As South Korea continues to be our top inbound market, this initiative ensures that Korean travelers can easily access assistance, allowing them to fully enjoy the warmth, hospitality, and attractions that make the Philippines a destination to love,” stated Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco.

In addition, the Philippine government has announced its plan to provide more efficient and accessible services to tourists through digitalization and technology-based services. TACC has been recognized as one of the best customer support platforms in Asia, and was recently awarded the Best Service - Customer Support Award at the 2024 Asia Best of Best Awards. In the future, the DOT will continue to expand its multilingual support services, planning to provide services to more tourists through various language supports, including Mandarin. END
