Asia's tourism industry is growing in countries led by countries such as Thailand, Japan and China, but some countries are considered to be far superior to Asia's most popular countries. The Philippines in Southeast Asia has untouched beaches, tropical weather and more than 7,000 islands to explore, and according to tourists, the incredible destinations hit the rest of Asia.
Japan, China and Thailand all attract tens of millions of tourists each year for their own UNQIUE reasons. Japan is often praised for its vibrant culture and modern innovation, China's rich heritage and unique experience, and Thailand is a major backpacker destination offering many adventures. But Drew Binski, famous for sharing travel videos online and visiting every country around the world multiple times, has revealed that when it comes to Asia, there are no countries that rival the Philippines. From the spectacular scenery to the warm hospitality, he insists that the Philippines is no second to none.
After traveling two years of life in the Philippines, it's safe to say that travel bloggers know one or two things about beautiful countries.
“People are very friendly, food is one of the most underrated things in the world, and honestly, if you want the best beaches, you're not looking farther than the Philippines,” says Drew.
Millions of people clash with the archipelago nation each year, recording a record number of over 5 million visitors in 2024. However, it also offers a variety of natural scenery that contributes to the overall beauty.

The white beaches surrounded by the west coast are decorated with palm trees, and there are plenty of beaches and restaurants where visitors can chill with cheap pints of 90p, and two course meals that retreat just 16 pounds.
One visitor wrote on TripAdvisor: “It's no wonder that it's still an island paradise and one of the best beaches in the world. The crystal clear water and pure powdery white sand stretches to about 3 km, making it ideal for exploring the island from edge to edge.
“There are a variety of restaurants, local shops and food spots.
