Statistics from the Philippine Tourism Office shows that Dutch bookings grew by 170% compared to pre-COVID times during the winter period.

Lekker – that’s how most Dutch tourists usually describe the weather or their vacation in the Philippines. In Dutch, it literally translates to “delicious” but could also mean “pleasant,” “nice,” or that thing gives you a good feeling.

According to the Philippine Tourism Office in Frankfurt, beach, nature and culture are among the top three reasons why Dutch tourists fall in love with the Philippines. So much so that 30% of Dutch travellers are repeat visitors with Manila, Bohol, Cebu, Vigan, Banaue and Palawan, their top destinations.

‘With the easing of travel restrictions, we welcome our Dutch friends to come and visit the Philippines. Enjoying the sun and beach in our tropical paradise is one grand way to cast out the pandemic blues,” Philippine Ambassador to The Netherlands J. Eduardo Malaya said.Some recommend booking a ticket in the beginning of the year, as it's the best period to escape the cold winter in the Netherlands.

Thomas is traveling with Filipina partner, Carol Halog, who is “looking forward to spend time with my family." “The part that I always enjoy the most in the Philippines is cruising around with my motorbike on the island, hunting for great beaches to chill and looking for snorkelling spots,” Vito Pol says.

“After losing my father a year before my last visit to the Philippines, I decided to visit my mother as much as I can. I’m very grateful the country loosens the pandemic restrictions and made it easier to come back home.”In a few weeks, Dutch tourist Jordy van Pijkeren will visit Philippines for the first time. Jordy has a long-time partner from the Philippines and he will fly to the Philippines to visit and meet her family for the first time.
