Sec. Durano says
Travel Tour Expo is key
component to developing
Philippine Tourism
The Department of
Tourism (DOT) yesterday
cited the importance of
the Philippine Travel
Agencies Association (PTAA)
annual Travel Tour Expo
(TTE) in the development
of the country's tourism
industry.
DOT Secretary Joseph Ace
Durano said the TTE is
an essential element in
the government's drive
to market the
Philippines as a leading
Asian tourist
destination.
“Outbound travel is the
other side of the same
coin. We cannot develop
tourism in the country
unless we both have
inbound and outbound
travel. The PTAA's
Travel Tour Expo offers
both and that is why it
is important for us to
continue participating
in the event,” Durano
said.
Secretary Durano signed
a memorandum of
agreement with PTAA
president Jose Clement
III as the DOT renewed
its commitment as a
leading partner of the
country's biggest travel
and tourism expo.
Clemente said they are
encouraged by the
continued support being
provided by the DOT to
the TTE and their other
projects.
“We are very glad to
have the Department of
Tourism once more as our
partner in for the
Travel Tour Expo and
thank Secretary Durano
for his continued
support of the PTAA and
its projects. We would
not be as successful
without their invaluable
contribution to this
event,” Clemente said.
The PTAA is expecting
the 16th edition of the
TTE to be held in
February 6-9, 2009 at the SMX
Convention Center in
Pasay City to be the
biggest with the
participation of more
than 200 travel and
tourism companies from
the Philippines and
around the world.
In anticipation of a
record number
participating companies
and public attendance,
the PTAA is expanding
the floor area of the
event to cover three
halls of the SMX.
Established in 1979, the
PTAA is the country's
biggest grouping of
tourism related
companies.
The Department of
Tourism, Region V will
be participating in this
year's Travel Tour Expo
and will be showcasing
the Best of Bicol Region
and promote it's various
tour packages for Bicol. |
