The Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) kicked off the 36th Philippine Travel Mart (PTM) with an exclusive media launch at The Peninsula Manila, ushering in a renewed vision for the future of tourism. Scheduled for September 5–7, 2025 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, this year’s event puts the spotlight on innovation, inclusion, and sustainability.

Carrying the theme “Boosting the NextGen Tourism,” PTM 2025 aims to shape the future of travel by blending modern technology with mindful exploration. It’s not just about visiting destinations—it’s about experiencing travel with purpose.

PHILTOA President Arjun Shroff described the event as more than a travel fair. “We’re curating journeys that are forward-thinking, community-driven, and tech-savvy,” he said. “This is the tourism of tomorrow, and we’re building it today.”

With support from the Department of Tourism, the Tourism Promotions Board, and key partners like EastWest Bank, GCash, and Philippine Airlines, PTM 2025 embraces four key pillars:

  • Sustainability, through eco-friendly travel;
  • Digitalization, with smart tools and seamless transactions;
  • Inclusivity, welcoming travelers from all walks of life; and
  • Health & Wellness, encouraging mindful and restorative trips.

The three-day expo will feature over 300 exhibitors, exclusive discounts on travel packages, interactive travel talks, cultural performances, raffles, and live demos. It’s a full sensory journey for those looking to discover new ways to explore.

Attendees can also preview cutting-edge travel innovations, from AI-powered itineraries to immersive digital tours. Whether you’re a first-time explorer or a seasoned jet-setter, there’s something for everyone.

PTM 2025 is more than an event—it’s a movement,” said Shroff. “It’s where we celebrate not only where we’ve been, but where we’re headed.
