The Department of Tourism (DOT), led by Secretary Christina Frasco, celebrates the exciting news of Air France’s decision to resume direct flights between France and the Philippines. This long-awaited connection, set to begin in December, will feature a nonstop service between Paris and Manila, marking a major milestone in travel accessibility between the two countries.
French Ambassador to the Philippines, Marie Fontane, recently made the announcement, sparking enthusiasm within the tourism industry. This new air route promises to significantly enhance travel convenience, especially for French visitors who make up the second largest group of tourists from the European Union to the Philippines.
Secretary Frasco expressed her gratitude to Air France for its confidence in the country, highlighting the positive impact this direct flight will have on both tourism and connectivity. “This new gateway will not only boost tourism but also provide visitors with a more comfortable and seamless journey to experience the beauty of the Philippines,” she said.
The direct Paris-Manila flights will open up incredible opportunities for French and European travelers to explore the rich culture, vibrant heritage, and stunning natural landscapes that the Philippines is known for. Filipino hospitality, already renowned worldwide, will undoubtedly shine through as more tourists arrive to discover the unique charm of the islands.
Beyond the excitement surrounding these new flights, the DOT is optimistic that this move could lead to further expansion, with the possibility of adding more direct connections to other key European destinations in the future.
As the countdown to December begins, the Philippines stands ready to welcome more French visitors, offering them unforgettable experiences and a deeper connection to the heart of the country.
