The Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) is bringing back the Travel Tour Expo (TTE) 2026, the country’s biggest travel and tourism event, happening from February 6 to 8, 2026 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
Recognized as the Philippines’ premier tourism marketplace, TTE 2026 will feature nearly 800 PTAA-accredited exhibitors showcasing destinations across six continents. Visitors can expect exclusive expo-only travel deals, including discounted airfares and special hotel and tour packages—all under one roof.
Tourism remains a major pillar of the Philippine economy, contributing PHP 2.35 trillion in 2024, or 8.9 percent of GDP, while generating jobs for 6.75 million Filipinos.
“Travel is more than leisure—it stimulates economic growth and reflects the Filipino passion for discovery,” said PTAA President Jaison P. Yang. “Through TTE 2026, we aim to make travel more accessible and affordable for more Filipinos.”
The three-day expo will occupy two full floors and feature over 800 local and international exhibitors, live performances, raffles, travel talks, and family-friendly activities. Complimentary admission is offered, with early-entry privileges extended to BPI cardholders.
The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), established in 1851 and the country’s oldest bank, returns as a major sponsor and partner of the event.
Running alongside TTE is the International Travel Trade Expo (iTTE), a business-to-business platform that connects Philippine travel agencies with international tourism stakeholders.
TTE 2026 is supported by key partners including the Department of Tourism (DOT), Tourism Promotions Board, Kaban Hotel & Casino Boracay, PLDT Enterprise, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), and Duty Free Philippines.
Since its launch in 1993, the Travel Tour Expo has consistently attracted more than 100,000 attendees annually, reinforcing its reputation as the most anticipated travel expo in the country.
