Travel consumers snatched up 50% discounts on holidays and flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organiser Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) has yet to release a sales report on the outcome of the fair. However, the Business Mirror quoted&nbsp; Philippines Air Asia spokesperson Steve Dailisan claiming the low-cost airline had sold around 3,000 sector fares, around 1,000 higher than forecast for the three-day show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top selling overseas destinations included&nbsp; Seoul, Singapore, Bangkok and Bali. On domestic routes, the most popular destinations were Caticlan, Tagbilaran, Cebu, Puerto Princesa and Tacloban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event covered four halls of the convention centre, prompting the organiser, Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA), to conclude the travel mart was &#8220;99% full&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After more than two years of strict travel protocols and lockdowns, PHILTOA Trustee Cecille May Kimpo told the Philippines News Agency consumers were engaging in &#8220;revenge travel.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Most of the travel restrictions have eased up, and we also have the new president Bongbong Marcos advising us that there will be no lockdown anymore,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-pandemic, the annual PTM generated a footfall of around 50,000 travel consumer sales, reaching turnovers that exceeded PHP60 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco said the Department of Tourism (DOT) would strengthen efforts to fast-track the sector&#8217;s recovery and continue increasing the product portfolio available to local and foreign tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The DOT is developing new regional tourism surveys highlighting nature-based tourism, MICE tourism, food and gastronomy, our heritage and culture, health and wellness and the arts,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(Source: PNA and PHILTOA)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA, 6 October 2022: Travel consumers packed the aisles of the 33rd Philippine Travel Mart (PTM), the first major travel fair in the country since Covid-19 restrictions were eased last February.
