Travel madness a phenomenal success

MANILA, Philippines - The officers of Travel Innovators Inc. (TII) pose for a souvenir photo marking the phenomenal success of the recently concluded Travel Madness Expo 2012, an international event supported by the various sectors of the local and global tourism industry. Organized by the TII, the Travel Madness Expo was designed to help tourism industry players surmount the lean months from June to October by enabling them to offer under one roof all the huge discounts and ‘unbelievably priced’ travel and tour packages to the consumer market and members of the supply chain. The event had an overflow of both exhibitors and visitors — including foreign embassies, top global and regional airlines and prestigious branded destinations, among many others — enabling the sellers to post high-volume direct sales and advanced booking for the rest of the year. With such a resounding success, the TII is now hard pressed to turn the Travel Madness Expo into a yearly international event.
