The hotel sector is crucial to the expansion of the Philippine tourism industry, which has experienced a continually rising demand for rooms from both domestic and international visitors who travel for both business and pleasure.
Visitor arrivals have increased over the past few years thanks to a comprehensive infrastructure plan and a vigorous marketing effort. The hospitality and tourist business in the Philippines is enjoying a surge in both domestic and foreign visitors.
Travellers are flocking to domestic vacation destinations such as Boracay, Baguio, Palawan, and Siargao, which are the top four locations of preference. This growth in the travel sector entails an increase in hotel demand. Every booking is important for both small and large-scale hotels.
Despite the fact that Philippine tourism is currently lagging behind those of its neighbours in the region, the country has attracted hotels to open or extend their operations there and has created several prospects for future expansion. The resurgence of international companies and the rise of domestic brands are clear signs of the country’s hotel industry’s boom times.
The Hotel Industry in Philippines accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
The Westin Manila Sonata Place is scheduled to open on the main street of the Ortigas Business District, beginning with the nation’s capital. The hotel will have 300 opulent rooms in addition to three food and beverage establishments, a gym, a spa, and a swimming pool.

Another intriguing launch slated to take place is Pullman Manila at Primex Tower. Two restaurants, a lobby lounge, and a rooftop bar on the 50th floor of this 200-room hotel will all offer spectacular views of the metropolitan skyline. A fitness centre, a swimming pool, a ballroom, a business centre, and many meeting rooms are also available to visitors.
Arca South, an integrated mixed-use development in the Greater Manila Area, would also include a hotel as well as offices, residences, lifestyle centres, retail stores, entertainment hubs, and dining establishments. The 265-key hotel, which is expected to open in mid-2022, will give visitors easy access to some of the best amenities in the Philippines.

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has released its Hotel Sustainability Basics, an internationally known and coordinated set of principles that all hotels should apply as a minimum to promote responsible travel and tourism.
The programe was introduced today at its annual Global Summit, which is being hosted this week in Manila, and will assist every hotel in addressing and improving their environmental effect.
It was created by the industry for the industry and outlines 12 activities that are key to hotel sustainability. It will help increase the base level of sustainability throughout the entire hospitality sector by providing a starting point for every hotel on their sustainability journey.
The programe has already received backing from big worldwide corporations such as Jin Jiang International (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The World Travel and Tourism Council’s Hotel Sustainability Basics offers the global hospitality sector with a baseline of positive measures to adopt to guarantee they achieve at least the minimal sustainability criteria.
However, this is only the beginning of their journey, and WTTC encourages the industry to strive for continuous development beyond the 12 fundamental criteria, so that any hotel, whether an individual business or part of a bigger group, may progress to more sophisticated frameworks and higher sustainability.
WTTC established the criteria in close consultation with prominent global brands and industry groups, and they focus on measures that are basic to hotel sustainability and address tourism’s impact on the world across a range of crucial concerns.
These requirements include steps to measure and minimise energy consumption, water use, waste identification and reduction, and carbon emissions measurement and reduction.
It also includes a linen reuse programe, the use of green cleaning solutions, the elimination of plastic straws, stirrers, and single-use plastic water bottles, the installation of bulk amenity dispensers, and community-benefiting initiatives.
WTTC is now calling on hotel operators, owners, organizations, and investors worldwide to publicly endorse the idea and collaborate across their networks to make it a reality.
