The Philippines is a sought-after destination for tourists, and the influx of visitors stimulates demand for a wide range of food services, encompassing both local and international cuisines. The Economic Impact Research (EIR) for 2024 by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) predicts a historic year for Travel and Tourism in the Philippines, with its economic impact, employment figures, and tourist spending all poised to reach unprecedented levels. The sector's contribution to the national economy is projected to exceed PHP5.4TN by the conclusion of 2024, representing an almost 25% year-on-year increase and a remarkable 7.1% surge from the previous peak in 2019. Hence, the growth of the hospitality sector, including hotels and resorts, facilitates the Philippines food service market expansion.
The increasing middle-class population with greater disposable incomes is fuelling the need for a variety of high-quality food service choices. As more individuals live hectic lives, there is a rising inclination towards dining out, ready-to-eat meals, and food delivery services. The emergence of online food delivery platforms and mobile applications has transformed the way food service establishments operate while simplifying access to a wide array of dining options for consumers. Furthermore, the growing emphasis on health and well-being is spurring the demand for healthier menu selections, such as organic, gluten-free, and vegan foods.
In May 2024, Golden Arches Development Corp. (GADC), which holds an exclusive franchise to operate McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) in the Philippines, announced that it plans to open at least 60 stores by the end of 2024. The majority of the stores are slated to open outside Manilla to capitalise on the evolving markets and customer demands.
