Visitors seen to swarm tourism expo

MANILA, Philippines - A long-running tourism expo is expected to attract visitors from all over the country and the rest of the world for prime travel destinations and investment opportunities.

“The forthcoming NorthPhil (North Philippines) Tourism and Travel Expo is our contribution to the Visit Philippines Year 2015 by inviting some of the world’s key players to this event as an offshoot of last June’s international MICE (meetings, incentive travel, conventions and events) Conference, which propelled the region into the league of prime international convention hubs,” said Tourism Central Luzon director Ronnie Tiotuico.

The show carries the theme Celebrating a Decade of Tourism Diversity to highlight the rich and diverse nature and culture of North Philippines despite being mostly a single landmass, accounting for around half of the Luzon mainland and making it worth having two major international gateways – the Clark International Airport and the Subic Freeport – both posting sustained increases in passenger and cargo traffic and helping turn the entire northern region into a vast mall of tourism destinations and attractions.

Aspiring participants in this historic event can apply as an exhibitor through www.northphilexpo.com or email [email protected].  This annual event is credited by Tiotuico and other key tourism industry players for helping sustain the growth in visitor arrivals in the region by serving as an important domestic and international marketing venue.
