THE Department of Tourism hopes China will invest in tourism infrastructure projects, following the signing of a bilateral tourism cooperation implementation program between both countries. Philippine travel agencies and tour operators are also expected to jointly promote the country and mainland China to encourage more Chinese tourism arrivals.
“This Implementation Program with China will generate massive employment opportunities and investments across all sectors of tourism throughout the Philippines. Our governments will work together on increasing tourist arrivals, resuming and adding direct flights to key and emerging destinations, joint promotional activities, and inviting tourism investments in infrastructure, among others,” said Frasco.
China continues to grapple with widespread Covid-19 infections such that Beijing had to reassure Manila that meetings between Marcos Jr. and Xi, as well as their respective officials, were conducted in “a bubble arrangement.” As per an earlier briefing by the Department of Foreign Affairs, members of the Philippine delegation were also supposed to be tested prior to their return on Thursday to Manila.
