18th Philippine Travel Mart
Posted by on August 30, 2007
I was at the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) of the upcoming Philippine Travel Mart which will open on September 7-9, 2007 at the Megatrade Halls of Megamall in Mandaluyong City. The bigwigs of the organizing group, Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) was there. The chief executives of various airlines, hotels, and shipping companies were all there too. As usual, representatives from the various traditional media were there too to cover the event. And, for the 2nd time around, I was the only travel blogger present. And I was kinda uneasy explaining to them what a travel blogger does. For many of them blogging is new. They even had raffle earlier giving out free airline tickets to the members of the press. Too bad, I didn’t win.
Anyway, the highlight of the event was the presentation of what’s going to happen next week. We were handed out press kits and the 18th Philippine Travel Mart looks exciting. The event promises to be the biggest Travel Mart ever. Drop down prices from airlines, hotel reservations and tour packages will be offered.
So what does a Juan dela Cruz can expect?
Airfares for as low as PHP18.00++, very cheap hotel accommodations in top Philippine resorts like Boracay, Laoag, Subic, Palawan, Cebu and a whole lot more! It’s actually their goal to let each and every Filipino get the chance to have a vacation that is not heavy on the pocket.
So mark your calendar. It’s September 7-9, 2007 at the Megatrade Halls of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.
