Philippines to reopen to some foreign tourists from Dec 1

MANILA (Reuters): The Philippines will reopen its borders to tourists from some countries on a trial basis from Dec 1, its government said on Friday (Nov 26), as part of efforts to rebuild an economy hit hard by the pandemic.

Foreigners vaccinated against Covid-19 from countries designated low risk by the Philippines will be allowed entry over an initial 15-day period, Karlo Nograles, acting presidential spokesman, told a regular news conference.
