Businesses involved in travel and medical tourism industry are invited to take part in the 3rd Philippine International Tourism Fair (PITF) 2009 to be held on June 25 – 27, 2009 at the Marco Polo Plaza Cebu in Cebu City.
Organized by the National Association of Independent Travel Agencies (NAITAS) – Philippines Inc., and supported by the Department of Tourism (DOT) and Philippine Convention and Visitors Corporation (PCVC), this year's installment of the PITF carries the theme “Best Hospitality on Earth... Philippines”.
The PITF is the only annual travel fair event in the Philippines that provides business-to-business networking activity between foreign buyers and Philippine sellers, presents quality tourism products and services through corporate exhibition, and serves as a networking venue and business development exchange for the industry players, partners, and stakeholders.
Furthermore, the three-day tourism fair will provide opportunities for companies to market their products and services and enhance business image locally and internationally. Ultimately, the event seeks to promote and develop inbound and domestic tourism in the country.
Highlights of the 3rd PITF 2009 include the Travel Market Exchange (TRAMEX), corporate exhibition, product launching, marketing presentations, social business events, and various seminars and education sessions.
The TRAMEX, managed and supervised by PCVC, is a face-to-face, business-to-business networking activity where quality foreign buyers meet Philippine sellers in a total business generation environment. It aims to encourage foreign buyers from key travel markets to promote, sell, and include the Philippines in their tour programs. TRAMEX, slated on June 26, 2009, promises to generate maximum exposure of leading Philippine destinations.
