The Philippines government is set to introduce a digital nomad visa to attract quality long-term travelers, enhancing tourism with a focus on sustainability. Christina Garcia Frasco, Tourism Secretary, emphasized the country's advantages, including widespread English use and appealing destinations. The initiative includes improved Wi-Fi in over 90 locations and a commitment to tourist safety. Efforts to enhance direct connectivity are underway, with partnerships aimed at increasing international flights, including expected direct routes from India. The digital nomad visa aims for year-long stays, signaling a shift toward longer-term tourism.
"We have made very conscious efforts to increase direct connectivity from all over the world, including flights from Paris to Manila and from Canada to the Philippines."
"The digital nomad visa will allow travelers to remain in the country for a year, but hopes to make longer stays possible."
