MANILA – The Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA), one of the country’s biggest travel groups, is holding its annual Travel Tour Expo (TTE) at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City on Feb. 6 to 8.
The 2026 TTE is expected to host more than 800 booths, with exhibitors promising their “lowest rates” and expo-exclusive travel deals in local and international destinations spanning six continents.
“Travel is more than leisure. It fuels our economy and reflects the Filipino passion for discovery. Travel Tour Expo 2026 celebrates this spirit by making dream destinations more accessible and affordable,” PTAA president Jaison Yang said in a statement Thursday.
Exhibitors include local and international airlines, travel agencies and tour operators, hotels and resorts, cruise liners, insurance, travel essentials sellers, and embassies.
The PTAA said it expects foot traffic to reach more than 100,000 as this year’s fair would cover two floors of the convention center.
Entrance tickets will be available at the venue for PHP100 for general admission and PHP80 for senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs). Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) cardholders, meanwhile, will enjoy free entry, with an early entrance privilege.
Alongside TTE, the group will host the International Travel Trade Expo (iTTE) for local and international industry players.
The TTE, held twice a year, provides a business-to-business platform between buyers and sellers and aims to help stakeholders expand market reach. (PNA)
