Tourism Committee

The Tourism Committee is driven by various ECCP members that cater to the travel, hospitality, and airline industries. Over the years, the Chamber and the committee have continued to endeavor to provide platforms for industry experts and stakeholders to talk about key sector developments, priorities, trends, as well as policy recommendations. These include improvements in international and domestic connectivity by upgrading airports and other tourism-related infrastructure and streamlining travel requirements to further attract tourists to the Philippines. The committee also actively promotes domestic tourism and enhanced training programs to level up the tourism workforce.
