What’s the Buzz About?
Organised by the Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA), the TravelTour Expo is a beacon for travel enthusiasts, bringing together a plethora of exhibitors from different corners of the travel industry. This year’s VisMin Edition is set to be a dazzling affair with a special focus on the Visayas and Mindanao regions. It’s your golden ticket to discovering new destinations, scoring amazing travel deals, and connecting with fellow travel junkies.

The TravelTour Expo isn’t just another event; it’s a travel extravaganza where dreams turn into itineraries. Here’s why you should definitely be there:
1. Unbeatable Travel Deals
