TOURISM
• Tourism in the Philippines traces its origins during the ancient
times when the first set of people chose to migrate through land
bridges, followed by the other sets of migrations from the
Malayan archipelago in the south and Taiwan in the north.
Through time, numerous ethno-linguistic groups developed, until
some of they became monarchies, plutocracies, hunter-
gatherers, city-states, and so on. Trade also became part of the
tourism as Arabs, Indians, Japanese, Chinese, Malays, and other
ethnic groups in mainland Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Ryukyu
traded goods with the natives. When the islands became part of
the territory of Spain, an influx of Spanish people migrated into
the country, though still few compared to the Spanish
migrations in South America as the Philippines was farther from
Spain.
ORIGIN OF TOURISM IN THE PHILIPPINES
The Philippines is an archipelago found in the western Pacific
Ocean of Southeast Asia with Manila as it's Capital City it is
comprised of around 7,107 islands. The influence of past
colonization by Spain and USA has caused modern Filipino
cultures to focus mainly around the influences of western
society rather than that is it's nearby Asian neighbours.
However the oldest Asian aspects of Filipino culture are still
very relevant throughout the strength of felial-perty the
respect for parents and ancestors as well as through beliefs in
ancient mythology and religion. The Filipino culture means that
tourism plays a valuable role in the country's economy with

 History of Tourism
• Tourism can be recognized as long as people have
travelled; the narrative of Marco Polo in the 13th
century; the "grand tour" of the British aristocracy
to Europe in the 18th century; and the journeys of
David Livingstone through Africa in the 19th century
are all examples of early tourism. Thomas Cook is
popularly regarded as the founder of inclusive tours
with his use of a chartered train in 1841 to transport
tourists from Loughborough to Leicester. Before the
1950s, tourism in Europe was mainly a domestic
activity with some international travel between
countries, mainly within continental Europe.
• In the period of recovery following World War II, a combination
of circumstances provided an impetus to international travel.
Among the important contributing factors were the growing
number of people in employment, the increase in real disposable
incomes and available leisure time, and changing social
attitudes towards leisure and work. These factors combined to
stimulate the latent demand for foreign travel and holidays. The
emergence of specialist tour operators who organized inclusive
holidays by purchasing transport, accommodation, and related
services and selling these at a single price, brought foreign
holidays within the price-range of a new and growing group of
consumers. The "package" or "inclusive" tour democratized
travel in Europe; foreign holidays were no longer the preserve
of the affluent and socially �lite classes.
