Although the Philippines has no formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, the two countries have maintained a strong relationship, especially in tourism.
In 2024, the Taiwan Tourism Administration (TTA) ranked the Philippines as the fifth largest source of inbound tourists, with approximately 470,000 Filipino tourist arrivals.
One of the reasons why Filipinos prefer visiting the self-ruled island is its proximity. 700 miles away, Filipinos can easily reach Taiwan in around two hours by plane. The TTA added that roughly 130 flights between both countries are happening weekly between both countries, making it more convenient for travelers.
