<P> The tourism industry first truly flourished during the late 19th to early 20th century due to the influx of immigrants from Europe and the United States . It was listed as one of the best countries to visit in Asia aside from Hong Kong and Japan, earning the nickname "Pearl of the Orient Seas". The tourism declined during and after the World War II, leaving the country with a completely devastated economy, and a landscape filled with destroyed heritage towns . The second wave of tourist influx flourished in the 1950s but declined drastically during the dictatorship era . After the People Power Revolution, the tourism industry continued to decline due to the domino effect caused by the dictatorship . The industry only managed to cope in 1991 and 1992, where 1.2 million tourists visited the Philippines . It afterwards waned again after a decade due to corrupt practices in government . </P> <P> The tourism industry flourished again for the third time at the early part of the 2010s under the "It's More Fun in the Philippines" slogan, which was widely regarded as an international success, gaining international media attention . The country saw an influx of tourists from all over the world, with the help of social media and the creative tagline, the tourism went at its peak with having 5,360,682 foreign million tourists recorded in 2015 . The industry continued to grow in 2017, but the growth rate from Western tourists drastically decreased due to an ongoing drug war and the declaration of martial law in Mindanao . Nonetheless, the growth continued due to an influx of Asian and Russian tourists . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Rank </Th> <Th> Country </Th> <Th> 2018 </Th> <Th> 2017 </Th> <Th> 2016 </Th> <Th> 2015 </Th>
