PTA becomes TIEZA
The Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) has changed its name into Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA).
This authority is less known by foreign tourists than by Filipinos. Why? It is this authority that collects the Travel Tax.
The travel tax is a fee Pinays and Pinoys have to pay when traveling abroad.
Travel tax rates are:
| Tax Class | 1st Class Passage | 2nd Class Passage |
| Full Rate | PHP 2,700 | PHP 1,620 |
| Standard Reduced Rate | PHP 1,350 | PHP 810 |
| Privileged Reduced Rate for Overseas Contract Workers’ Dependents |
PHP 400 | PHP 300 |
More information about taxes and fees is here.
The new website of the TIEZA is here.
