Set in the summer capital of the Philippines, this edition of the RTF puts the spotlight on the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). Its rich cultural heritage, awe-inspiring sites, and sustainable tourism offerings create a wealth of opportunities for stronger domestic travel and quality business engagements across the region.
“Baguio City serves as an important gateway to the Cordillera Administrative Region with its famed landscapes and enduring charm,” said TPB Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles. “The 17th Regional Travel Fair gives us the opportunity to celebrate the richness of the region and draw greater attention to the communities, heritage, and experiences that make the Cordilleras distinctive. We hope to create more opportunities for tourism partners so we can showcase the best of the region while generating long-term value for both visitors and host communities.”
The three-day event will feature a curated program that combines destination immersion with business development. On May 15, participants will gather for regional presentations showcasing the diverse destinations and tourism products of the Cordillera Region including Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Tabuk City, and Baguio City. This will be followed by business-to-business (B2B) sessions with 80 TPB buyers and 50 Cordillera-based sellers from the accommodation, tour operations, destination management, and other travel-related sectors, aiming to establish partnerships and create new tourism opportunities.
