Asia's most loved beach country named best diving destination

Renowned for its pristine coral reefs, historic shipwrecks, and crystal-clear, warm waters, the Philippines has long been a favorite among scuba divers. In September, the country was crowned "Asia's Leading Beach Destination" at the 2024 World Travel Awards.

Beach tourism plays a vital role in the Philippine economy, fueled by the country's tropical climate and its unique geography of over 7,000 islands.

The awards, organized by TripZilla, a Singapore-based online travel media platform with a monthly reach of over 20 million travelers, honor outstanding contributions to the travel industry.

This year's event was the largest to date, featuring a record-breaking number of nominees and voters, and presenting over 60 awards.
