Get ready with your passport, credit card, and airline miles as TravelTour Expo (TTE) 2015, the largest tourism and travel exhibition in the Philippines, opens today until Sunday at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City.

The annual expo, organized by the Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA), is now on its 22nd year of bringing the travel industry together under one roof and giving Filipinos a greater chance to see their country and the world. And with this year’s TTE coinciding with Valentine’s Day, coming to the expo to search and book for a holiday will be a unique Valentine treat for couples. But this event is not just for lovers, as families and barkadas are also invited to hunt for the best travel deals to fill every long weekend this 2015.

TTE 2015 promises to be even bigger and grander than last year, as it now occupies both floors of the SMX Convention Center. It will be, by far, the biggest in the expo’s 22-year history, with 288 exhibitors and 844 exhibition booths spread across 16,230 sqm of exhibition floor space. Visitors and guests will definitely have a wider selection of destinations, airlines, travel agencies, and accommodations to choose from.

One interesting addition to this year’s TTE is medical tourism, with exhibitors from Villa Medica Germany, St. Luke’s Hospital, and Korea Travel Organization, presenting various medical treatments and procedures that are available locally and abroad.

Be at the SMX Convention Center before these exciting deals run out! TTE 2015 starts at 10 a.m. today, with tickets priced at P60 for regular exhibit-goers and P30 for senior citizens. Aside from great travel bargains, raffle prizes, giveaways, entertainment numbers, cultural presentations, as well as merchandise and food booths await visitors and guest. There’s never a dull moment when you’re at TTE.

The 22nd TTE is organized by the Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) in cooperation with the Department of Tourism‒Tourism Promotions Board (DOT‒TPB), together with the following sponsors: Philippine Airlines (official airline), PLDT and Smart Telecommunications (official telecom provider), Citibank (official credit card), Asia Miles (official lifestyle rewards program), Villa Medica Germany (bronze sponsor), travel media partners Skycable, TLC, Travelife magazine, View magazine, Travel Update, Foreign Post, and official broadsheet, the Philippine Star.
