My perception in the beginning of Philippines being a relatively popular tourist destination still remains.
I feel that Philippines is a destination that can blossom in terms of tourism aspects due to its rich culture and history. Their culture should be preserved because it is the unique aspect of each tourism destination and that is what tourists are looking out for. Without something that the country can call its own, there is no differentiation between countries. Understanding more about the Aetas have also provided me insights in the earlier descendants of the place. Their way of life and ability to sustain in such conditions really inspires me.
The society is no doubt made up of friendly and hospitable people. However, this image has been tainted due to the recent dangers in the country that may affect a tourist’s decision to visit Philippines. One such example is the death of 8 hostages held by a gunman in the bus. This may deter tourists from visiting the country.
Lastly, I hope this blog has provided you with more insights into the culture of Philippines and enhanced your knowledge of the place!
