21st Philippine Travel Mart



If you're planning for your-deserved vacation from your hectic schedule or celebrating an anniversary with a loved one or still looking for the perfect honeymoon getaway, then you're definitely in luck. Every year the Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) organizes the Philippine Travel Mart where you can get the best internation/domestic travel deals and the lowest room rates in top hotels in the Philippines. This September is the 21st Philippine Travel Mart and you can expect a big turnout from biggest airlines, hotels, resorts and travel agencies where you can get bargain travel packages and deals. Last year, this even helped me get the best room rates for our wedding night accommodation at Sofitel and also discounts at our honeymoon destination in Bohol and Cebu (we stayed at Amorita which I think the best resort for honeymooners).

So mark your calendars! The 21st Philippine Travel Mart will be held on September 3 - 5, 2010 at the Megatrade Hall, SM Megamall. You can probably contact PTM Secretariat (+632)812-4513 for details.  Here's the initial list of participants (updated as of August 31).
