The Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) opened the 37th Philippine Travel Mart (PTM) on Friday, bringing together tourism stakeholders from across the country for a three-day showcase of destinations, travel experiences and industry partnerships.
Running at the SMX Convention Center Manila from Sept. 4 to 6, this year’s PTM brings together destinations, tour operators, hotels, resorts, airlines, tourism organizations and travel partners under the theme “Nurturing the Next Gen Tourism, Discover Your Philippines.”
For 37 years, PTM has served as a meeting point for the country’s tourism industry. But this year, PHILTOA is using the annual gathering to look beyond what Philippine tourism offers today and move towards the people and communities that will shape its future.
PHILTOA President Maria Lourdes Japson said the participation of regional tourism offices, including those from Mindanao, reflects the nationwide character of the event.
