Destination Guide

The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities across Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao and other major tourism destinations. Hotels, resorts and event venues regularly recruit experienced professionals in events, food and beverage, sales, rooms and operations. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented and strongly influenced by regional traditions, English usage and international tourism. Lifestyle costs vary: Manila is busy and urban, while Cebu and resort islands offer a more relaxed setting, though transport and imported goods may be expensive. Foreign hires normally need employer support for an Alien Employment Permit and a 9(g) work visa, with approval required before starting work.
