The Philippines is poised for a significant transformation in its travel and tourism sector with the formal adoption of the eTravel system. Instituted by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. through Administrative Order (AO) 24, this system is now the standardised process for all international passengers and crew members entering or exiting the country. The initiative is designed to streamline border control, health surveillance, and tourism data analysis, offering a more efficient and modernised experience for travellers and the broader industry.
Enhancing Efficiency and Security in Travel
The eTravel system serves as a comprehensive electronic travel declaration platform, simplifying the procedures for international travel to and from the Philippines. With the issuance of AO 24, signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, the system is now a key component of the country’s efforts to enhance border control and manage health-related data more effectively. The system consolidates multiple travel requirements into a single QR code, significantly reducing the time spent on documentation and minimising bottlenecks at entry and exit points.
