NextGen Day

Despite the epidemic, the Philippines received five nominations for the prestigious 28th World Travel Awards, indicating that its top-tier locations are still being recognized.

The Department of Tourism said on Wednesday night that all Filipinos and international visitors should vote for the country in the following categories:

1. World’s Leading Beach Destination 2021
2. World’s Leading Dive Destination 2021
3. World’s Leading Island Destination 2021 (Siargao Island)
4. World’s Leading Tourist Attraction 2021 (Intramuros)
5. World’s Leading Tourist Board 2021

To vote, the public may register for free at www.worldtravelawards.com/vote. The polls conclude at midnight on October 25.

At WTA’s World’s Leading Beach Destination category, the Philippines competes against Jamaica, Maldives, Thailand, Cancun in Mexico, Maui in Hawaii, Miami Beach and Key West in Florida, Thailand, Diani Beach in Kenya, Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, Peleponnese in Greece, Plettenberg Bay in South Africa, Riviera Maya in Mexico, and seven other countries.

It also joins the Azores Islands, Bora Bora in French Polynesia, Cayman Islands, Fiji, Galapagos Islands, Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Maldives, and Mexico in the World’s Leading Dive Destination category.

Intramuros, a WTA returnee, earned the World’s Leading Tourist Attraction title in 2020, beating out 15 other locations, including India’s Taj Mahal, Greece’s Acropolis, and the United States’ Grand Canyon National Park.

In the same year, the country was named the best diving destination.

The nominations come as the country gradually reopens its tourism sector to domestic visitors while ensuring that health procedures are in place to protect both host communities and tourists from the coronavirus.

Camiguin Island in Northern Mindanao, one of its top diving sites, is scheduled to open its beaches to local visitors on October 25.
