ICYDK, the Philippine Travel Mart is a big three-day event dedicated to all things travel. With over 300 exhibitors, both local and international, the PTM is the place to score exclusive discounts on flights, accommodations, and tour packages.
Think of it this way: the folks behind the PTM work closely with some of the country's biggest names in tourism and hospitality—including Philippine Airlines, Megaworld, Ayala Land, Robinsons Hotels and Resorts, to name a few—so you know you're getting the best direct rates from these hospitality bigwigs.
Case in point, Philippine Airlines will be offering exclusive promo rates on domestic and international flights available only at the PTM. Safe to say, you should ready your wallets. Expect booths offering everything from budget travels to all-out luxury packages.

Now, you might be thinking, why do I need to go to PTM when there are online sales and promos? Why go all the way to SMX?
More than just another travel fair, the Philippine Travel Mart serves a bigger purpose—promoting local, sustainable tourism of all parts of the Philippines.
The Philippine Travel Mart partnered with the Department of Tourism and the Tourism Promotions Board to showcase a diverse range of regional experiences at SMX Convention Center.
For three days, the SMX will transform into a buzzing expo showcasing food, destinations, and handicrafts from all over Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Picture it: The PTM will feature taste tests of local delicacies and will feature displays of handmade textiles and clothes, allowing you to try things on for once and not have to do the guesswork. Isn't it better to learn more about cuisines you've never tried by sampling them for yourself?
At the Philippine Travel Mart, Guests can explore different interactive booths, eye-catching installations, and regional displays while being entertained by the lineup of cultural performances that celebrate Philippine heritage and the arts.
