This country goes all out to attract Australian visitors and in 2024 has skyrocketed into the top 10 most popular overseas destinations for Aussie travellers.
In 2022, 112,500 Australian residents returned from visits to the Philippines. In 2023, that number more than doubled to 233,170. For every month in 2023, the number of Australian residents returning from visits to the Philippines was higher than the corresponding month in 2022.
That’s still well sort of the 286,170 Australians who visited the Philippines in 2019 but enough to see the country enter the top 10 most popular destinations for Australians travelling overseas – but only for the month of January 2024. Both Singapore and Fiji eclipsed the Philippines in the number of Australian visitors they received in 2023, but January 2024 saw the Philippines bump them out of the top 10.
Anyone with an Australian or New Zealand passport gets a visa on arrival, allowing them to stay for up to 30 days. It’s also low-risk. Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade applies the warning “exercise a high degree of caution” to the Philippines, the second level on DFAT’s four-stage travel advisory ladder. That’s the same advice level DFAT applies to Thailand, Indonesia and the UK.
