The 22nd TravelMart - Showcasing the Philippines

     If you're a travel enthusiast or maybe just any old bloke waiting to get away from Manila for the long weekend you might as well check out the 22nd TravelMart organized by PHILTOA (Philippine Tour Operators Association) with Mr Cesar Cruz at its helm. The event is set from the 2nd-4th of September at the humongous SMX Convention Center by the bay.


     The yearly TravelMart is organized in order to promote the best destinations and the best services and products in the Philippines. Hotels, resorts, tour operators, local manufacturers, airlines and transport suppliers band together once a year to attract both foreign and domestic travelers to see the country and its rich and diverse natural wonders and heady culture.


     This year, the event promises to be different as the organizers have added special attractions that were not included in past travel expositions. There will be dance competitions, the Eco-Chorale, performances aimed at reviving the Kundiman, Travel Quiz-Bee for students and live seminars for those interested in learning everything they want to know about the tourism industry .


     Needless to say, all the participating companies and organizations will be offering affordable tour packages that are exclusively available for the TravelMart. The public is enjoined to go visit the TravelMart if they are interested in availing of very affordable tour packages to any of our famous destinations.


     PHILTOA prides itself as being an advocate of responsible tourism. Organized as a non-stock, non-profit organization on 12-June-1996 the organization continues to promote the Philippines as a must-visit destination. And rightly so, as we are the center of endemicity globally. With our 7,107 islands, a coastline that stretches forever, a hospitable and friendly people, and a well-balanced climate and hardly any communication barriers - we may not be paradise... but we're so darn close!
