The 16th Davao Mega Travel Sale opened Friday at Ayala Malls Abreeza, showcasing 40 exhibitors and with new packages to Central Asian destinations and Antarctic Peninsula.<\/p>\n
This year’s fair highlights discounted travel packages to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.<\/p>\n
In her speech, Department of Tourism-Davao Regional Director Tanya Rabat-Tan said the event is more than selling tickets. It is about opening doors to discovery and learning, from local tourism circuits to international adventures.<\/p>\n
“We say that diversity is our beauty here in the Davao Region and today, that beauty expands to the rest of the world,” she said.<\/p>\n
Tan emphasized that the event not only boosts the tourism industry but also helps position Davao and the Philippines at the heart of every traveler’s dream.<\/p>\n
“To our travelers, the expert advice is ready, the seat sales are live and the world is waiting. Gear up, say yes, and let your next great adventure begin,” she said.<\/p>\n
The expo of hotels, resorts, airlines and travel agencies will run until March 1.<\/p>\n
Davao City 3rd District Councilor Myrna Ortiz, chairperson of the Committee on Tourism, commended the Davao Travel Agencies Association for continuously creating opportunities that strengthen the city’s tourism industry.<\/p>\n
“Initiatives like this not only connect our people to exciting destinations around the world but also energize our local economy, generate employment and position Davao as a dynamic hub for travel and business,” she said. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
