Sa unang dalawa at kalahating buwan pa lang ng taon, mahigit 1.1 milyon na ang tourist arrival sa bansa.

Kaya ang mga tourist spots, gaya ng National Museum sa Maynila, ramdam na ramdam ang pagdami ng turista.

The people are very friendly, very accommodating. The food is amazing.

I found that the traffic is horrendous but the people have been fantastic, very polite and very helpful.

Alam ng Department of Tourism, kailangang ayusin ang tourist experience para mas marami pang maingganyong bumisita sa bansa.

Kaya mahaba ang listahan ng mga planong gawin mula sa muling pagpapaganda ng mga pangunahing airport at pagsasayos ng Wi-Fi connection sa bansa.

May binubuuring tourist app para sa mga nagpaplanong bumiyahin ng Pilipinas at isang tourist assistance call center na tutugon sa mga problema ng mga turista.

We are also looking at how to better facilitate the arrival and release of tourists from their point of entry and their point of departure.

Tumitindi naman ang pagkabahala ng DOT sa oil spill sa Oriental Mindoro.

Kaya nakikipag-ugnaya na sa iba-ibang ahensya para sa tulong sa mga apektadong tourism workers,

monitoring sa cleanup effort at maagang paghahanda ng mga mahalagang tourist destinations gaya ng Boracay na naglagay na ng oil slick booms sa paligid ng isla.

It's an ongoing collaborative effort to manage the situation that is led by the DENR and we're here to assist our tourism workers.

Ayon sa POLA-LGU, nag-cancel na na mga booking ang mga turistang magbabakasyon sana sa kanilang lugar.

Ayon naman sa isang eksperto, maaaring abuti ng humigit kumulang tatlong taon ang cleanup.

Sinasuggest talaga ngayon ay in-situ burning, magde-deploy ng fireproof na mga booms, maghihiwalay ng fraction ng part of the oil, dadaling ito sa isang safer na lugar para doon nga ito i-burn.

Complementary techniques talaga yung kailangan natin na gamitin para mas ma-contain natin at madaling matanggal.

So we're looking at around 1-3 years na cleanup process. Pero kung hindi po lahat ito, we can look at around 3-5 years.

Ayon naman sa DOLE, may nakalaan ng P100M pondo para sa emergency employment at livelihood assistance ng nasa 10,000 tourism workers mula sa labing isang apektadong munisipalidad.

Sa kabila naman ng pinsala ng oil spill, umaasa ang pamahalaan na maaabot pa rin ang target na 4.8M tourist arrivals ngayong taon.

Halos 23% ng mga trabaho sa Pilipinas galing sa industriya ng turismo, kaya target pang madagdagan ito sa pamagitan ng ikinakasang job fair sa katapusan ng Marso.
