Philippines's International border is closed since 2020 March. Philippines is considered as one of the biggest travel destination for everyone. Moreover, it is happening because of COVID-19.Â
It is important to mention that most of the South Asian countries are gradually starting to reopen their international border for international tourist like Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia and so on. But it is sad to say that Philippines is not yet opened for foreigner tourists. It is confirmed by there.
As most of the South Asian countries who are considered as neighbor's countries of PH, reopen their international border for foreigner tourist for saving their economy. For example, Thailand is one of the first country who opened international border for foreign tourist on August 2021. It is important to mention that Thailand is making a lot of money from their tourism sector.Â
