The Philippines bested nominations which include Jamaica; Greece; Santa Monica, California; Turks and Caicos Islands; Mexico; Thailand; Mexico, Maui; Maldives, and Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands.
The tropical country was also acclaimed as the World’s Leading Dive Destination for a fourth straight year, defeating Azores Islands; Belize; Fiji; Galapagos Islands; Australia’s Great Barrier Reef; Maldives; Mexico; and French Polynesia.
Aside from the World’s Leading Awards, the Philippines also claimed Asia’s Leading Beach Destination and Asia’s Leading Dive Destination for 2022 once again.
