Philippines expects more Chinese tourists by facilitating e-visa service


MANILA, June 3 (Xinhua): The Philippines hopes to attract up to 2 million Chinese tourists this year amid the South-East Asian country's efforts to remove the cap for issuing e-visa for Chinese nationals, Philippine Tourism Secretary Christina Gracia Frasco has said.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) is "continuously coordinating" with other government agencies to lift the cap on issuing e-visa for Chinese nationals to meet the ambitious target, Frasco said in a statement on Friday.
