Dong Thi and the Philippine Department of Tourism

Partnership · Philippines

Dong Thi Co., Ltd — the company that operates Dong DMC — is an official partner of the Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT). The partnership covers destination promotion in Vietnam, program development and site research in the Philippines, and it shapes how we work with travel agencies on both sides of the Manila–Vietnam route.

What the partnership covers

  • Promotion in Vietnam. Dong Thi presents Philippine destinations to Vietnamese travellers through its websites, social channels and television features.
  • Up-to-date destination information for travellers and the trade, kept current as products change.
  • Program development. Dong Thi builds Philippines programs for different traveller segments, from short leisure breaks to group and incentive itineraries.
  • Research on the ground. The DOT hosted a familiarisation trip in 2025, which became our Philippines Travel Guide for Travel Partners. In February 2026 Dong Thi inspected Coron with the DOT during the ASEAN Tourism Forum.
