Dear Mr. See,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated 25 May 2022 06:08:28 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Your Request
You asked for the number of tourist arrivals by country of residence from January to April 2022.
Response to Request
Your FOI request is approved.
We have enclosed a copy of the Foreign Tourist Arrivals by National Report as of 1 May 2022 for the the number of tourist arrivals by country of residence in April 2022.
Meanwhile, you may access the available data relative to the January to March 2022 tourist arrivals which you requested, at
https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHQsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEERPVC0wMDkwNDE0Mzc3OTQM
Please be informed that the only available data for foreign tourist arrivals are generated through the One-Health Pass (OHP) pursuant to Republic Act No. 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act and in accordance with the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) Resolution Nos. 135, s. 2021 and 160-B, s. 2022. The list of Foreign Tourist Arrivals from Visa Free countries we have provided to you was generated from the OHP which is the official foreign tourist arrival count for February to March 2022.
