The Department of Tourism on Monday said tourists could now contact its hotline for urgent inquiries about pandemic travel requirements.
Travelers may call the DOT hotline at 1-386, which operates daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is available in both English and Filipino for foreign travelers and local tourists.

Due to vaccinations and lower daily cases, several tourist destinations under the three lowest alert levels reopened to domestic travelers provided they comply with vaccination or testing requirements.
