Biggest travel expo  slated in June

CEBU, Philippines —  The Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) announced the return of the country’s largest face-to-face travel tour exposition, reinforcing the market’s growing momentum to travel here and abroad.

PTAA will hold the 29th Travel Tour Expo & 7th International Travel Trade Expo on June 24-26, 2022 at the SMX Convention Center Manila.

With the theme, “Braving and Shaping the Future of Travel”, the upcoming face-to-face travel tour expo will be offering great travel deals and awesome tour packages to both foreign and domestic travelers. Not only as a great business opportunity for both parties, it is also an encouragement for tourism and travel in general, said PTAA president Michelle Taylan.

“The grand event signifies the recovery of travel and tourism this 2022, where the pandemic is nothing to be feared anymore. This is the year where travel businesses will flourish, and this is where we bring a new golden age for tourism.” Following the resounding success of the last year’s event which gathered key personalities from the government and different embassies, the PTAA 29th Travel Tour Expo & 7th International Travel Trade Expo promises a bigger expo, wider participation from stakeholders, and more exciting offers while observing and maintaining the minimum health standards set by the government,” added Taylan.

The three-day event will occupy Function Rooms 1-5 at the 2nd floor of SMX Convention Center Manila with more than 150 exhibitors and 35,000 to 45,000 visitors in expected attendance.

For PTAA, there’s no better time to host the biggest travel trade event after the government’s decision to ease the restrictions. 

After months of lockdown, domestic travelers who are looking forward to vacation trips welcome these developments with eager anticipation. However, health and safety during travel remain their No.1 concern amidst the COVID-19 situation.

In response, Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat reassures travelers that safety measures are in place saying travel in the Philippines is safe, and “as we always promised, more fun.”
