Growth of Filipino Tourism in Korea
Kim shared some exciting statistics. In 2024, Filipino visitors to South Korea increased by a remarkable 51% compared to the previous year—reaching an impressive 520,000 travelers. “This growth highlights the steadily rising tourism exchange between Korea and the Philippines,” he said, expressing optimism about the future of travel between the two countries.
A Call from the Heart
The Philippines’ Department of Tourism Secretary, Christina Frasco, encouraged Filipinos to explore the beauty of South Korea and invited Koreans to rediscover the warmth of the Philippines. “Tourism is not just about travel; it’s about understanding and building bridges between our cultures,” she said passionately. Frasco emphasized shared commitments to sustainable tourism and announced new direct flights operational between South Korea and various Philippine cities, making travel even more accessible.
Show-Stopping Performances
But the excitement didn’t end with travel deals. The event featured mesmerizing performances from the cast of the musical “Dream High.” Talents like ZE:A’s Kim Dongjun, VICTON’s Lim Sejun, and South Korean icons SE7EN and Kim Dahyun brought the stage alive with their spectacular renditions, including the iconic theme song, “Dream High.”
