Abstract:

The study examines the increasing phenomenon of outbound tourism from the Philippines, highlighting the significant influence of immigration procedures at airports on molding the experiences of tourists. This research intends to provide significant insights to a tourism bulletin by evaluating the knowledge, attitudes, and compliance levels of outbound tourists from Iloilo City regarding Philippine immigration airport procedures. The study employs a survey-correlational research methodology with 200 participants selected through convenience sampling. It applies descriptive and inferential statistical analysis to investigate how demographic factors influence participants' awareness of immigration protocols. Interestingly, there were no significant variations based on age or wealth, but gender and purpose of travel had a notable influence on knowledge levels. Female individuals and individuals who travel for work had a greater level of comprehension, emphasizing the necessity for focused educational initiatives. Moreover, the research demonstrates a significant association between favorable attitudes and the willingness to adhere to immigration processes, highlighting the need of cultivating positive mindsets to facilitate smoother travel experiences and regulatory compliance. These findings have both academic and practical significance, as they emphasize the need for customized interventions and collaborative efforts to improve tourists' comprehension and adherence to immigration regulations. This will ultimately strengthen the Philippines' reputation as a top global destination.
