Philippines seen as epicenter for gaming growth in 2022

The Philippines is expected to become the epicenter for gaming industry growth this year, driven by new property openings, the flourishing of domestic-remote gaming, and a surge in revenge travel.

The casino-friendly country will also be home to this year’s ASEAN Gaming Summit 2022, to be held on July 25-27, 2022 at Shangri-La at the Fort in Manila, Philippines.

It comes as the Philippines officially became lockdown-free in April this year, which was the first time it had done so since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Just two months earlier, the country scrapped its quarantine requirement for fully-vaccinated foreign travelers – effectively doubling daily arrivals from 5,000 before February to 12,000 by end-March, according to the Philippines Bureau of Immigration (BIR).
