Reportedly, airlines will also be offering exclusive flight deals for travellers attending the event.

Annually showcasing a variety of travel-related products and services, the TTE was conceptualised for Filipino travellers to have more opportunities for fresher ways of travelling.

With the annual event acting as a one-stop shop for travel business, expo-goers can easily have access to information involving airfare, visa, guided tours, travel insurance and newly-opened accommodations and tourist spots. Hence, the PTAA encourages Filipinos interested in travel to attend the event and gain new perspectives on how to plan their trip itineraries and travel budgets.

If Disney were creative enough to let Mulan and Melody procreate, Danielle would be that child. From an early age, she has dreamt of becoming a purposeful revolutionary... and an unruly mermaid. While Danielle hasn't held a sword in her lifetime, she feels powerful enough with her byline. Her creative energy is fueled by many things: the quiet right before the rest of the world wakes up, the orange sky as the sun rises during an uncrowded morning surf, the beautiful bitter taste of black coffee, and the threatening reminder of a pending deadline.
