30. • Tourism - 7.2 Million international visitors 2018
• $38 Billion Tourism Direct Gross Value Added
• The Philippines government hopes GAMING will
also boost tourism arrivals to 10 million per year.
• Chinese tourism surged 30.02% in January to
November 2018 (Catherine Talavera 2019)
• 10 Competing gaming destinations, such as
Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, lack the
supporting infrastructure of luxury retail, hotels,
and onsite casinos, which make the Philippines
attractive to “wealthy tourists” and betters.
• Because as many as 200,000 Chinese
employees work in the industry in Manila alone,
it is driving investment in office and residential
real estate development, as well.

69. TOP PHILIPPINES LOCATIONS Manila is the
preferred location for Chinese buyers, as
evidenced by its share of Chinese purchasing
enquirers made in 2018.
The capital city and its metro area accounted
for 78.5% of all Chinese buyer enquiries made
on property in the Philippines in 2018.
Within the metro Manila area, the financial
center of Makati takes 11.7% of Chinese buyer
enquiries and is a significant enough
destination that it deserves to be listed
separately in the list of top destinations.
Ground was broken in December for Makati’s
new subway line, which will further increase
Chinese demand. Buyers will seek to benefit
from the growth of values that should
accompany the opening of the subway and
developers are siting new projects in relation
to the subway line and other new
infrastructure. Third-ranked Cebu received
8.2% of Chinese buying enquiries.
