Biggest travel, tourism industry event of the year set Feb. 17-19

Preparations for the 19th Travel Tour Expo 2012 (TTE 2012), the country’s biggest travel and tourism industry event of the year, are in full swing. With this year’s theme One Stop Shop to the World, TTE 2012 promises visitors an even wider variety of travel options and special
packages only available onsite scheduled on February 17 to 19 at the SMX Convention Center Halls 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Pasay City.


The three-day event is expected to exceed last year’s more than 60,000 visitors from around the Philippines with over 450 booths featuring some 200 local and international organizations including travel agencies, airline companies, cruise operators, domestic tour operators, government agencies, embassies, national tourism organizations, hotels and resorts, international tour operators, travel shops, and many more.
