MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Tourism (DOT) has no plan to impose stricter travel restrictions despite the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in the country. Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco on Tuesday said the government would continue to 'open up' the Philippines to travel and tourism as it moves forward from the pandemic, assuring the public that minimum health and safety standards are in place. 'Tapos na po ang pandemiya, sabi po ‘yan ng WHO (World Health Organization). While we continue to support the Department of Health's measures as well as ensuring the health and safety of our fellow Filipinos, the direction of the Philippines is forward and that is to ensure that we continue to open up the country to travel and tourism,' she said in a Palace briefing.
