Iloilo City to host travel fair
The 4th Western Visayas TravelXchange will be held in Iloilo City next month on August 28 to 30 at Robinsons Mall. This was announced by Department of Tourism Regional Director, Edwin Trompeta earlier this week after finalizing all details with event organizer and tourism consultants, Selrahco Management.
"The fair will be a boost to domestic tourism especially within the region as hotels, resorts, airlines and other tourist attractions promote their establishments here in Iloilo City,” said Director Trompeta.
During the travel fair, many travel companies will be raffling off overnight stays and free trips on a daily basis to visitors. Tour packages based on low fares and huge discounted rates will be made available to the traveling public too.
Director Trompeta hopes to see the public take advantage of the low and attractive tour packages that will be offered.
