โ€œTourism and Sustainable Transformationโ€ The Filipino Spirit on World Tourism Day 2025

The Philippines joins the world in celebrating tourism as a force for resilience, inclusivity, and transformation. Despite the storms we face, the Filipino spirit continues to riseโ€”undaunted and full of hope. As DOT Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco reminds us, โ€œTourism is more than just leisure; it is nation-building.โ€ It sustains millions of livelihoods and builds stronger, more sustainable communities.
