Philippine Travel Blog – The Travelers Guide to Philippine Destinations

This coming September 7-9, 2007 marks the 18th Philippine Travel Mart at the Megatrade Halls of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City, Philippines. This event is organized by the Philippine Tour Operators Association alongside with the various stakeholders in the travel industry. The Philippine Travel Mart is also dubbed as the “Sale ng Bayan.”

The travel fair promises bagsak presyo airfares and travel packages for each and every Juan. Some airlines even advertised to have an 18peso-airfare sale available only at the fair.

I always believe in the thrust of the organizing team to make travel for every Filipinos light on the pocket. And to let us experience the best of the Philippines. This is now the chance for us to get tour packages and plane tickets to enjoy the white sandy beaches of Boracay, the wild rapids of Cagayan de Oro, or wander at the old glorious churches of Iloilo.

Now is your time to buy your tickets for the upcoming Masskara Festival in Bacolod City!!! Enjoy its best tasting chicken inasal, or walk through the old streets of Silay, known as the Paris of Negros.

On Friday there will be an opening ceremony with no less than the top personalities from the travel industry in attendance. The program is as follows:

Grand Launch with foot parade / cultural presentations

Ceremonial banging of the gong with Sec. Ace Durano, Mayor Benhur Abalos, Mr. Richard Gordon, Mr. Robert Dean Barbers, Mr. Edgar Chato and Ms. Jo Pestano
