Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco was beaming with pride and love of country as she unveiled the first-ever Philippine Travel Fair in the United States of America.
“I am extremely delighted to know that the Philippines continue to be a top-of-mind destination for our friends here in the USA. I can feel the nostalgia and longingness as well of our kababayans here,” Secretary Frasco said in an interview with reporters.
“The beauty about visiting the Philippines now is that our President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., has ensured the openness of the country to travel and tourism, especially coming out of the pandemic that had imposed restrictions and lockdowns,” the tourism chief added.
Much to the delight of travel fair visitors, merchants such as Philippine Airlines, EVA Airways, Singapore Airlines, Starlux Airlines, China Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Qatar Airways offered huge discounts on plane tickets to the Philippines.
Meanwhile, SITA Tours, Sky Vacations, Holidays with Downtown, Mango Tours, Happy Sun Travel, Majestic Vacations, Innovative Travel, Sunrise Travel from Las Vegas, Travel Jam from San Diego, RC Travel, Island & Cruise Adventure, Laguardia Travel also from San Diego, Hyssop Travel, My Travel Specialist, JJ Bargain Travel & Tours, My Global Life, and Elite Voyages, to name a few, also offered bargain travel deals for those who wanted to experience the Philippines.
