As the 30th Travel Tour Expo 2023 gets hyped up for the opening on Feb. 3 to 5, 2023 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay, an equally important travel event is also happening on the same date and at the same venue.
The 8th International TravelTrade Expo 2023 is a business to business gathering of stakeholders in the tourism industry. Hundreds of travel agencies are invited to explore possible tie-ups or partnerships with different suppliers. Suppliers that have registered for the event are airline companies, cruise liners, hotels, resorts, tour operators and other travel related business both local and international.
As in any other business, travel agencies need reliable suppliers for their seamless operation. They need an airline to transport their clients to their destinations and back home, a decent hotel for accommodation, a good place to eat, tourist sites to visit and a local transport that will bring them around the place. For clients to have a hassle-free and pleasant travel experience all these suppliers have to be coordinated by the travel agency.
The organizer of the 8th International TravelTrade Expo 2023 has planned the business forum to make it more convenient to industry stakeholders by gathering all participating travel agencies and suppliers under one roof. Suppliers are given the chance to present the best service that they can offer while buyers ( travel agency) choose the service that best suits their client’s needs. More importantly, travel agencies are given the opportunity in dealing with legitimate suppliers as they have been screened before hand by the organizers.
The 8th International Travel Expo 2023 is very timely especially with the devastating effect of the two year pandemic. Travel agencies lost contact with their existing suppliers since most of them have closed shop. Thus, there is a need to establish a new network of suppliers for their operations and the 8th International TravelTrade Expo is the ideal place to find them.
The event has attracted an impressive list of companies that will participate in this business forum. A total of 280 travel agencies have registered and 51 travel related suppliers are coming from 23 different countries.
As the economy opens up and people are starting to travel again, the importance of a business forum like the 8th International TravelTrade Expo 2023 is quite evident. It facilitates the opportunities of matchmaking between the travel needs of the clients and the services offered by the suppliers. As the tourism industry recovers, we will obviously see more stakeholders in need of this kind of a business meeting.The 8th International Traveltrade Expo 2023 is scheduled on Feb. 3 to 4 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay. It is organized by the Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) and sponsored by Israel Ministry of Tourism, PLDT and Spain Tourism Board.
