CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — The much-anticipated World Travel Expo Year 10 officially opened at Ayala Malls Centrio, bringing together travel enthusiasts, tourism stakeholders, airlines, hotels, and tour operators for a three-day celebration of travel, discovery, and opportunity.
Now celebrating its tenth year, the World Travel Expo has become one of the region’s most recognized travel events, helping connect travelers with destinations and travel providers while encouraging more people to turn their travel dreams into reality.
The opening ceremony gathered exhibitors and visitors eager to explore a wide range of domestic and international travel opportunities, from affordable vacation packages and airline deals to hotel promotions and curated tour experiences.
A Decade of Connecting People to Destinations
During the opening program, Event Organizer Miles Caballero reflected on how the expo has evolved over the past decade.
According to Caballero, the original vision of the event was simple: create a space where people could discover destinations and directly connect with travel providers. While that purpose remains unchanged, the motivations of attendees have evolved over time.
Many visitors now arrive not only to gather information but to finally move forward with travel plans that have long been delayed.
“People do not stop wanting to travel. They delay it,” Caballero shared, noting that work commitments, family responsibilities, financial priorities, and daily routines often push travel plans further into the future.
The expo serves as a reminder that travel remains an important aspiration for many individuals and families, even when life gets busy.
More Than Just Travel Deals
This year’s expo showcases a diverse lineup of tourism offerings, including local destinations, international getaways, airline promotions, hotel accommodations, and customized travel packages designed for solo travelers, families, and groups.
Visitors are encouraged to look beyond the destination itself and consider factors such as timing, preparedness, and personal goals when planning their next journey.
Whether it's a long-awaited family vacation, a dream international trip, a business-related journey, or a quick weekend getaway, the event provides practical opportunities to make travel plans more accessible and achievable.
Tourism's Continuing Impact
Beyond the travel packages and promotional offers, the expo also highlights the broader value of tourism.
Travel continues to play a significant role in supporting local communities, generating employment, strengthening destination economies, and fostering cultural exchange between people from different regions and countries.
As the tourism industry continues to recover and expand, events like the World Travel Expo help strengthen partnerships between travelers and tourism providers while encouraging more people to explore new experiences.
Visit the Expo
Residents of Cagayan de Oro and travelers from neighboring provinces are invited to visit the expo and discover opportunities for their next adventure.
The World Travel Expo Year 10 runs from July 3 to July 5, 2026, at Ayala Malls Centrio in Cagayan de Oro City.
For many, the next destination may already be decided. The only thing left is choosing the date and finally making the trip happen.
Travel plans often begin as an idea. World Travel Expo Year 10 aims to help turn those ideas into actual journeys.
