THE Department of Tourism (DoT) on Friday hailed the national government's adoption of the e-Arrival card to give Filipino and international visitors arriving in the Philippines a more comfortable and stress-free experience.

Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco said the introduction of the e-Arrival card as a replacement for the One Health Pass (OHP) entry requirement for travelers achieves a component of the Marcos administration's goal to ease entry protocols in order to draw more visitors and support the country's recovering tourism industry.
