MANILA, Dec 12 (Reuters) – The Philippines is aiming to attract 7.7 million foreign tourists next year as the industry continues to recover from the pandemic, its tourism minister said on Tuesday.
Year-to-date, the Philippines has welcomed 5.1 million foreign tourists, though still below the pre-pandemic record of 8.26 million in 2019, according to ministry data.
