The biggest travel tour expo is finally here!
The 27th Travel Tour Expo 2020, organized by the Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA), is the largest gathering of tourism agencies and stakeholders in the country held every February. It’s the biggest ever with 400+ exhibitors across different travel categories—operators, travel agencies, cruise liners, hotels, resorts, airline and insurance companies.
But going to the fair can be daunting with the long lines and can be confusing on what travel deals to buy.
So here are some expo hacks to help you navigate your way around and focus on the important destination deals…
First Things First
There are navigational banners on top, and the J banner is where the main stage is located. This can be the common meeting point where the best booths are also located.
