Everything found in the Philippines.

Together with the Philippines, Ethiopia, Iran, Myanmar, Georgia, Slovenia, and Tunisia also made it to Ranahan’s list of countries that may pave to be potential major tourist destinations once this COVID-19 pandemic is over.
With this promising headline, the Department of Tourism and other tourism officers are now gradually working on the revival of domestic tourism with the easing of quarantine measures – of course, with the public’s health and safety in mind.
