Foreign tourist arrivals into the Philippines in October were hardly changed from last years number, with a decline in the number of visitors from key markets such as China, Japan and South Korea offsetting increases from other countries, data from the Department of Tourism showed Thursday.
The data showed visitor arrivals reached 241,809, flat from the 241,745 recorded in October 2007. The Department of Tourism, however, noted that foreign tourists still climbed to a record-high 2.61 million in the first 10 months of this year, up 4% from last year’s 2.51 million.
Arrivals from South Korea, which emerged in recent years as the Philippines’ biggest tourist market, declined 9.4% on year in October to 45,007. The number of tourists from China declined 15% on year, while that from Japan fell 9.1% on year. (more…)
