Welcome to the Philippine Tourism Authority

For thirty-three years, we have been pioneering tourism development in the Philippines, have been witnesses to the development of its major destinations and the subsequent influx of foreign as well as domestic tourists have been our source of pride and satisfaction.
This time around, we are privileged to announce the coming of another Philippine First, one of the BEST in the Philippines – the Manila Ocean Park. Located at the foreshore area at the back of historic Quirino Grandstand in Luneta Park, the Manila Ocean Park shall have an underwater walkthrough Oceanarium featuring various species of marine life such as rays, sharks and other exotic species and a simulated beachfront with white sand and marine mammals aside from a marine museum, rainforest exhibit and exhibit and several galleries for shops, food entertainment and shopping.
Another major development, the PTA has been honored with is the up and coming construction of the Panglao International Airport. This major development shall provide direct access to the nearby provinces of Cebu, Leyte, Samar, Bacolod, Iloilo and, of course, the Province of Bohol, where the PTA’s very own world-class dive resort on Balicasag Island is just a stone’s throw away.
