Tourism
Chinese are registered users of
WeChat and AllPay. Just as more
and more Chinese flock to the
Philippines to enjoy the country’s
scenic attractions and natural
wonders, many of these tourists
bring along with them their smart
phones equipped with the WeChat
and Allpay apps.
Moreover, DFP has also catered
its service offerings for the Chinese
market with its upmarket Luxe
outlets that feature branded
cosmetics, perfume and fashion
geared to Chinese tastes and
preferences.
“DFP goes out of its way to provide
the best, streamlined services for
its growing roster of clients, in
our bid to our role in promoting
Tourism via the shopping and
retail trade whil contributing to the
government’s tourism coffers at the
same time,” proudly noted Anggala.

Chinese prefer to use this mode
of payment, this will equally
help lure more tourists to come
and enjoy the Philippines while
increasing our presence, as well
as service offerings for the very
vast Chinese outbound market.”
“With more than a million
Chinese tourists expected to visit
the Philippines, their utilization
of the WeChat and AllPay app
will equally be a boon for DFP,”
added Yupangco while Diaz
confidently noted the shopping
habits of one Chinese tourist,
which reaches an impressive
P60,000 per day! “In addition to
this spending habit, which is also
projected to increase, coupled
with the AllPay Discover feature
where its users are notified of
countries accepting this mode
of e-payment, this will also make
DFP enjoy a stronger promotion
in China.” http://www.dfp.
