The third Travel Sale Expo (TSE) concluded its successful run September 26-28, 2025, at SM Megamall Megatrade Hall, cementing its reputation as the country’s premier travel fair.
Organized by Global Tourism Business Association (GTBA) and Oneklik Events, partnering with Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA), Boracay Malay Aklan LGU, Tourism Malaysia, Guam Visitors Bureau, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and supported by Department of Tourism (DOT) plus various embassies including Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, India, and Brunei.
The three-day event gathered over 200 booth exhibitors from airline, hotel, cruise, and tour sectors, drawing tens of thousands of travelers and industry stakeholders.
With theme “Your Gateway to the World,” TSE brought together local and international partners offering unbeatable discounts, exclusive packages, and flexible payment terms. From domestic destinations like Boracay, Bohol, and Cebu to international favorites including Taiwan, Malaysia, and Vietnam, the expo showcased destinations for every wanderer.
“We are moving towards democratizing travel for the everyday Filipino. The Travel Sale Expo is designed to make dream trips accessible, affordable, and stress-free. It’s not just about YOLO or FOMO anymore—people want smarter, value-packed travel choices, and that’s what we deliver,” said GTBA Founding Chairman and TSE Chairperson Michelle Taylan.
Beyond markdowns, the event served as a networking hub featuring seminars on emerging travel trends, halal tourism, and sustainable growth opportunities. A major highlight was expanded DTI partnership promoting local products and Muslim-friendly travel.
“Events like TSE are not only about promoting destinations, but also about creating jobs and strengthening the entire tourism value chain,” Taylan added.
