Bringing the biggest tourism offerings of the year, the 2018 Philippine Travel Mart is now officially open at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. The event is presented by the Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) in partnership with the Department of Tourism (DOT).
Now on its 29th year, one of the biggest tourism conventions of the country gives all travel enthusiasts the chance to avail event-only deals offered by the country’s top travel agencies, tourism associations, hotels, and airline companies — all while appreciating the beauty and unique culture of the Philippines. Specifically, travellers can get travel and tour packages with discounts up to 70% off through the Sale ng Bayan feature of the travel mart!
The three-day event will also feature exhibits, cultural shows, a national costume competition, and a tourism quiz bee. In addition, visitors will get a chance to have a meet and greet with local TV personality Derek Ramsay at the La Union Pavilion.
