Recognizing the importance of a broader perspective on tourism employment—one that encompasses not only direct jobs in establishments like hotels but also the vast indirect employment generated by the tourism—we engaged with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) on the true impact of tourism across various sectors.
And the result, the April 2024 Labor Force Survey, revealed that 16.4 million Filipinos, representing 34% of total employment in the first quarter, benefiting directly or indirectly from tourism. These figures highlight the pivotal role of tourism in generating livelihoods and uplifting communities nationwide and certainly show the impact of Philippine tourism in terms of job generation.
