The urge to pack a bag and escape the daily grind is a feeling most Filipinos know all too well. And yet, dream vacations often remain confined to mood boards and group chats. This year, however, turning those travel aspirations into reality is becoming significantly easier.
For those ready to turn their dream vacations into reality, the annual Travel Madness Expo is the perfect starting point. Running from July 10 to 12 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, this year’s event features Megaworld Hotels & Resorts (MHR)—the country’s largest hotel operator.
Setting up camp at Booth Nos. 39–42, MHR is rolling out exclusive travel deals and destination-inspired experiences designed to make people say “TARA!” to your next local getaway easier than ever.
Igniting the Spirit of Domestic Tourism
This year, MHR is bringing its vibrant TARA! (Travel Away and Reignite Adventure) campaign directly to the expo floor. This initiative is purposefully designed to encourage Filipinos to travel locally and immerse themselves in the distinct cultural and natural richness of the country’s key destinations.
Furthermore, the campaign directly aligns with and supports the Department of Tourism’s broader Discover More to Love domestic tourism program.
Through our TARA! campaign and our participation in the Travel Madness Expo, we hope to make local travel more accessible and encourage more Filipinos to visit destinations where there is a Megaworld Hotels & Resorts property,” said Loleth So, Group Director of Commercial.
In addition to expanding accessibility, So emphasized the deeper impact of exploring home soil.
Traveling within the Philippines is one of the best ways to appreciate the incredible diversity of our destinations while helping local communities thrive,” So added.
