The biggest and highly awaited Philippine Travel Mart,
organized by Philippine Tour Operators Association once again takes place last
Sept 4 to 6, 2015 at SMX Convention Hall in Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay
City. With the theme “The Philippines,
the Fun Capital of Asia” also open doors for tours outside of Philippines
specifically ASEAN Economic Community due to its integration starting this
2015.
Hundreds of exhibitors from different Tour agencies,
Hotels, Resorts, Tourism Product & Services, and Local Government Unit
showcase their best in many colorful way and flavors that represent many
destinations for all people who loves travelling.
I must say it is one of the most attended so far and
because of airfare promos offered by many participating airlines not only
locally but globally.
Regarding the feedback, it’s a tie between Batanes and
Coron that majority of visitors wants to visit, obviously the Coron tourist
drowning issue didn’t affect its charm and beauty. Coron is an island
Municipality in the Province of Palawan. While Batanes found in the northernmost part
of Philippine islands still a dream for everyone and was tagged as the New
Zealand of Asia.
The usual programs of different schools and trivia quiz
event is such a delight to watch, learning new things and finding more hidden information’s
about many attraction is a sure fire knowledge blast, one part I like most is
the mathematical computation for tours that was given to students as a
challenge. Hourly raffles and discounts is a regular happening as well.
But one thing that disappoint some visitors who wish to
avail of promo and discounted fares, is the limit set probably by participating
airlines, most of it are already taken on its first day that’s why many are
heartbroken on the remaining days wherein they got no avail of those promos.
Still, it is one of the oldest and so far the most
attended travel fair in the country, ill be happy again to visit this PTM in the
next year to come. Congrats again to
PHILTOA.
