Okada Manila expands its events venue portfolio

MANILA, Philippines — Okada Manila, the largest integrated resort in the Philippines, is at the forefront of extraordinary offerings. Catering to clients’ “land” requirements with its ballrooms, the hotel is now expanding its events venue portfolio with the introduction of “at sea” venue via its yacht and “air” travel through its private jet.

“Okada Manila takes heed of our roster of clientele’s changing needs. They are looking for alternative venues that go beyond land. I’m proud that Okada Manila is the first integrated resort in the Philippines to pioneer land, sea, and air venue offerings and services," says Cielo Ortega-Reboredo, the newly appointed vice president for Sales and Marketing, Hospitality and Entertainment Division at Okada.

Ortega-Reboredo joined Okada in 2016 after a five-year stint in another world-class hotel.
