Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. approved a proposal to refund taxes to foreign tourists to boost visitor arrivals in the country.

Marcos also gave the go-ahead for the rollout of e-visas this year, prioritizing China and India, and for the removal of an entry requirement called One Health Pass to simplify the arrival process for travelers.
