PSA: You Can Now Score Travel Discounts and Deals at the New DOT Website

(SPOT.ph) If you haven’t taken a vacation during the first half of the year, don't worry. There’s still a bunch of long weekends left to take advantage of. To help you plan ahead and make the most of these days off, the Department of Tourism (DOT) has recently launched a new domestic campaign showcasing travel deals and curated experiences across the country.

Check out the new website and the deals you can book for your next getaway around the Philippines.

Domestic travel tends to slow down during the second half of the year, a.k.a. monsoon season. But if the Department of Tourism has anything to say about it, that doesn’t have to be the case. DOT just launched its new "Discover More to Love" campaign, which invites travelers to do more and see more, especially during the rainy season. If you're planning a trip anytime soon, you can now check out special domestic deals for flights, accommodations, tours, attractions, and more straight from the agency's website.

According to the DOT, these aren’t merely seasonal sales but rather “curated travel experiences, exclusive packages, lifestyle promotions, and destinations” available from July to November 2026. Rain or shine, whatever the season, reason, or budget, the campaign serves as a reminder that there’s always a destination waiting to be discovered.

Aside from these offers, the website also keeps a calendar of events and experiences that you may want to include in your itinerary. This is a running list of upcoming concerts, festivals, fun runs, expos, and more events across the country that might coincide with your visit.

 It can be daunting to scour the web for the best deals on all things travel, so it helps to have another resource for planning ahead. The new DOT website lets you filter your search for promos and offers by category, location, discount percentage, and price range.

The listings will lead you straight to the official websites of their partner hotels and agencies, where you can find more information and secure your bookings, which is actually a big help in avoiding scams. Booking through the links on the DOT website ensures that you’re transacting with legitimate booking platforms and representatives vetted by the government agency.
