President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Friday underscored the need to adopt sustainability in the tourism sector as he urged to ''go green'' in the transformation of tourism products and services. ''We need to adopt sustainability in our society and economy, and certainly in the sector of tourism.
Marcos said the government continues to work with the private sector to pursue reforms that will make tourists “visit, stay, spend, and return” to the Philippines. ''These include measures such as easing visa access, enhancing water sanitation and healthcare facilities in tourist destinations, improving connectivity hubs such as airports,'' he said.
