Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat says aviation and cruise industries are suffering because of the restrictions imposed on travelers heading to or from China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

The Philippines tourism industry stands to lose P42.9 billion in revenue due to the widespread novel coronavirus disease , Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat said Wednesday.

She said the estimate is based on computations of tourist arrivals from these areas from 2017 to 2019. She added the negative impact of the travel ban is expected after the Philippines recorded a"substantial increase" in arrivals from China in 2018. The country has welcomed a total of 1,499,524 Chinese in the first 10 months of 2019 — making them the second largest tourism guests, next to South Koreans.
