Philippines to host UN Tourism World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism
THE Philippines will be the host of the United Nations Tourism (UN Tourism) World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism. Department of Tourism (DoT) Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco said the Philippines’ selection as host of this event affirms the country’s status. “The Philippines is the perfect venue for the 2026 UN Tourism World Gastronomy Forum — where the world can gather to share, taste, and celebrate food as a bridge between cultures. More im-portantly, this recognition places our country at the forefront of global gastronomy and sustainable tourism,” she said in a statement. The Tourism World Forum will convene global leaders, chefs, innovators, and advocates from more than 150 countries to advance dialogue and cooperation on food tourism as a driver of inclusive growth, sustainability, and cultural preservation. Ms. Frasco emphasized that this recognition builds on the DoT’s sustained efforts to develop gastronomy tourism as a pillar of the country’s tourism strategy, as encapsulated in the National Tourism Development Plan (NTDP) 2023-2028. In 2024, the Philippines hosted the first-ever UN Tourism Regional Forum on Gastronomy Tourism for Asia and the Pacific in Cebu, which culminated in the Cebu Call to Action on Gastronomy Tourism as a Driver for Sustainable Development.
