Why Many Tourists Visit the Philippines?

by Fanny Andrea B. Naranjo
The Philippines is one of the most visited countries in the world. There are numerous good reasons why many
tourists visit the Philippines.
Firstly, I believe that the Philippines is known for its hospitable people. Filipinos are very welcoming and
accommodating. I am certain that these Filipino characteristics are very attractive to many foreigners.
In my experience, Filipinos are always ready to help other people in need. They are generous. They always
share with others, even if sometimes they only have little. It is their belief that sharing is loving.
Also, many tourists think that the Philippines has the most beautiful islands and beaches. It has Palawan, Bohol,
Siargao, Leyte, and Boracay, to name a few. They take the view that Philippine islands and beaches are breathtaking,
and there are a lot of sea adventures to experience and delicious local foods to partake and share. Also, the Philippines
has a unique culture to learn and appreciate. I cannot deny that I agree with all these thoughts.
In conclusion, I am convinced that many foreigners love the Philippines. That is why, they continue to visit it and
others even choose to stay in the country.
