PRESIDENT Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. on Monday vowed to step up efforts to reboot the country's tourism sector.

Speaking at the Philippine Tourism Industry Convergence Reception held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, Marcos described tourism, which took a heavy blow from the coronavirus pandemic, as the 'driving force of the economy,' and committed his administration's full backing to the Department of Tourism's (DoT) agenda.
