The Philippines is a beautifully stunning Country which is rich in culture with a warm and friendly people.

Today the Philippines is a politically stable with a growing economy, a thriving tourism industry and a selection of very good property investment for foreign buyers.

The Philippines economy is well positioned to get through the current global economic slowdown which effect on the Philippines property market is likely to be subdued because the economy is expected to remain resilient while the property market is exhibiting prolonged growth as the current circumstances have created an good environment for a sustainable capital appreciation because of significant demand and still affordable property.

It is the strong and growing economy, warm all year round tropical climate combined with stunning landscapes, beautiful beaches and a wealth of fantastic leisure facilities make the Philippines a very desirable location for both tourism and therefore property investment.

The country is made up of some 7,000 islands situated in Southeast Asia in the Western Pacific, east of Vietnam and north east of Malaysia between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea.

However most of the population live on just eleven of the islands with 3 that are the main and most populated islands,Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.


It is the Tourism industry that is helping drive the Philippines property market as the country received 3.5 million arrivals in 2008 a record year; this number is predicted to continue to grow as a lot of wealthier Asians are attracted to the Islands beauty and peaceful tranquillity.

 

A lot of holidaymakers are looking to buy holiday homes and of course the residential tourist resorts are being developed by companies including overseas property developers to accommodate for the high and growing demand from overseas visitors, these resorts and investment properties are also being marketed to foreign buyers and property investors which of course is bringing foreign investment into the country and helping drive both the property market forward as well as contributing to economic growth further.
