Manila offers the broadest corporate, hotel and event-management market, while Cebu, Boracay, Palawan and other resort destinations provide strong opportunities in tourism, weddings, conferences and guest services. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented and community-minded; English is widely used in business and hospitality.
