The move follows the opening of Khiri\u2019s first office in the Philippines, in Cebu, in September 2024. The new Manila office is located in the 1928 art-deco-inspired Perez-Samanillo Building, now called the First United Building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blessing ceremony for the new office was held on 28 July and was attended by Khiri Travel Manila staff, led by their General Manager, Nadi Win. Khiri Travel CEO and Founder Willem Niemeijer and parent company YAANA Ventures\u2019 Chief Financial Officer, Mark Remijan, also attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nadi said Khiri\u2019s new Manila office would facilitate tourism growth particularly in the Manila and Luzon regions of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are major improvements at Manila international airport where most of Khiri\u2019s guests enter and leave the destination,\u201d she said. \u201cWith our stronger presence in the capital, we will be able to support our partners and travellers better, strengthen coordination with hotels, guides and transport providers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, tourism generated USD 38.1 billion for the Philippine economy in 2024. Tourism accounted for 8.1% of GDP in 2025. The country attracted 5.94 million foreign tourist arrivals last year, down from the peak of 8.26 million in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Khiri Travel Vice President \u2014 Commercial, Richard Ludwig, said: \u201cOpening our Manila office demonstrates our commitment to becoming the best DMC in the Philippines. By investing in our local team and presence, we can give our partners the confidence and support they need to grow their business here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
