 Transforming Tourism in the Philippines

where everyone wins

What we believe

At Guide to the Philippines, we believe that travel should benefit everyone—from travelers seeking meaningful experiences to the local communities who make those experiences possible. Our mission is to create a more accessible, inclusive, and sustainable tourism industry in the Philippines.

We proudly partner with a wide range of tourism stakeholders—whether you're a large tour operator, a family-run inn, a local transport provider, or a community-based experience host. Through our platform, we give businesses of all sizes the digital tools and visibility they need to grow and succeed in the evolving travel landscape.

Beyond promoting popular destinations, we are passionate about showcasing underrated and emerging destinations in the Philippines. From quiet mountain towns and remote islands to lesser-known heritage sites and eco-tourism spots, we work to put these incredible places on the global stage and help travelers discover the full beauty and diversity of the Philippines.

By empowering our partners and uplifting lesser-known regions, we envision a future where tourism becomes a force for good—fueling local economies, encouraging cultural appreciation, and supporting sustainable development across the country.

With Guide to the Philippines, everyone—traveler or tourism provider—has a place to grow.

Partnerships

As part of our mission to elevate Philippine tourism on the global stage, Guide to the Philippines collaborates with both government institutions and private companies to drive innovation and accessibility in the travel industry.

In 2019, we were selected as the official booking partner of the Department of Tourism (DOT)'s philippines.travel website under a one-year partnership. We also worked closely with the DOT on initiatives such as Kain Na!, a nationwide food tourism program, and partnered with the Asian Institute of Management to develop a travel survey that provided deeper insights into traveler behavior.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we collaborated with Philippine Airlines, the country's flag carrier, to launch Quarantine Packages that addressed the needs of returning travelers. We also developed Domestic Travel Packages to encourage safe and hassle-free local travel.

In addition, we’ve partnered with key brands such as Mabuhay Miles, Philippine National Bank (PNB), and Maya to offer exclusive promotions, rewards, and seamless booking experiences for their customers.

Our partnerships reflect our commitment to supporting the entire tourism value chain—from airlines and banks to government agencies and digital innovators—while creating better travel experiences for everyone.

Conferences and Travel Expos

Since our launch in 2019, Guide to the Philippines has been actively involved in major tourism events, both as an exhibitor and as a thought leader.

We regularly participate in the country’s largest travel expos, where we promote our partner destinations, tourism products, and services to both local and international markets. These events are key to expanding awareness of the best tourist spots in the Philippines, as well as hidden gems we aim to spotlight through our platform.

Guide to the Philippines has also been invited as a resource speaker in tourism conferences and industry panels, where we share insights on digital transformation, travel trends, and sustainable tourism. We advocate for the use of technology to make tourism more inclusive and accessible—empowering local communities, streamlining booking systems, and creating data-driven solutions for tourism planning.

Our active presence in these events helps ensure that the voice of a new, tech-enabled, and community-conscious generation of tourism leaders is heard—one that’s deeply rooted in local knowledge and passionate about putting the entire Philippines on the global travel map.
