## Philippines: Visa-Free Entry for Chinese Tourists The Philippine government has announced a visa-waiver program for Chinese nationals, allowing them to stay in the country for a maximum period of two weeks without requiring a visa. The measure, effective immediately, was implemented under presidential directive to facilitate trade, investments and tourism. ## Program Details The visa exemption applies to Chinese citizens entering the Philippines for tourism or business. However, it is important to note that the program is only valid for entries through Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Metro Manila and Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Cebu. This initiative represents an attempt to revive the Philippine tourism sector, which has suffered a severe blow due to travel restrictions in recent years.
