The roadshows took place in Sydney’s Sheraton Grand and Melbourne’s Crown Events and Conferences, highlighting the latest developments in Philippine tourism, including destinations and products, services and travel packages.
At the event, travel agents had the opportunity to meet with Philippine tour operators and airlines, like Cebu Pacific, the country’s leading low-cost carrier.
Norjamin De Los Reyes, Tourism Attache, Philippine Department of Tourism, said:
“The Philippines is within easy reach of Australia and has so much to offer tourists. Travel agents are vital to spreading awareness about the Philippines and over the course of the roadshows we shared industry knowledge to showcase how fun, accessible and adventurous the destination is. Also, shining the torch on the world’s best islands and the activities available.”
Patcholo S. Lat, Cebu Pacific’s International Sales Manager, said: “It was great to connect with agents and be a part of the Philippine Business Mission Roadshows. Cebu Pacific is passionate about offering low cost fares, to help as many Aussies as possible to fly to the Philippines. By saving on the flight, you can splurge at the destination and really see what the Philippines has to offer.”
“We look forward to flying all our winners to the Philippines, so they can see for themselves how easy it is to travel throughout the destination, thanks to Cebu Pacific’s extensive network.”
