Amira Loreena Versola - The Freeman

CEBU, Philippines – A three-day affair, dubbed “Cebu Travel Catalogue 2015,” will give travel enthusiasts the chance to avail of cruises, European pilgrimages, Asian and US tours at half the price. It will showcase an 80-booth spread of various travel agency, tourism offices, airlines, real estate and insurance firms. Booths will occupy the Terraces area and the connecting corridors of Ayala Center Cebu from January 30 to February 1.

Cebu Travel and Tours Association president Sheila A. Colmenares and event chairperson Aida L. Uy revealed that the event has so far earned the support of the Malaysian Tourism Board, Citrineland Corporation, and Innoland Retail Division (Serenitea, Hikay, Dong Juan, Sunburst). They pointed out that the event aims to promote local and international travel, by promoting new packages and promos offered by various airlines and travel companies worldwide.

Cebu remains an “emerging powerhouse” in the national tourism industry as it is only able to attract an average of two million international tourists annually. Compared to Indonesia’s 60 million foreign tourists yearly, according to Bruce Bollozos of Innoland Retail Division, Cebu’s share is only crumbs of the world tourism pie. Thus the need to encourage people to travel more, with the so-called shoestring packages.

The upcoming event will allow travelers to get packages at prices they can’t get at any other time of the year. The “Cebu Travel Catalogue 2015” will offer better deals that can be used during summer travel. There will even be a chance for consumers to enjoy a super markdown of up to 75 percent for certain packages, especially among traveling families. Moreover, through Bank of the Philippine Islands, a zero-percent interest rate will be offered, up to three months, to make it easy on the travelers’ pocket.
