“Tourism and Sustainable Transformation” 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 rise—undaunted and full of hope. As DOT Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco reminds us, “Tourism is more than just leisure; it is nation-building.” It sustains millions of livelihoods and builds stronger, more sustainable communities. Watch our inspiring video honoring the people behind Philippine tourism-the smiles that shine even brighter after every storm.
