Behind every memorable getaway is a network of businesses working to make it happen—from travel agencies and transport providers to hotels, restaurants, and retailers. For these entrepreneurs, turning travel demand into business growth takes more than an attractive offer. It also means managing payments, keeping cash flowing, and securing funds when opportunities arise.
UnionBank is bringing these essential financial services closer to entrepreneurs through its partnership with Travel Sale Fair (TSF) 2026, happening on October 23 to 25 at SMX Manila.
Formalized through a memorandum of agreement with event organizer Adele Fado Trading Corp., the partnership puts practical banking support within reach of businesses across the travel and tourism ecosystem.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Travel Sale Fair is expected to welcome more than 3,000 attendees and over 200 exhibitors from the travel, hospitality, food and beverage, retail, transportation, and tourism sectors.
Through the partnership, participating businesses can access UB Negosyante, UnionBank’s SME program designed to help Filipino entrepreneurs handle everyday financial needs and pursue growth opportunities.
Its offerings include the UnionBank BizStarter Account, an entry-level checking account with a minimum initial deposit of ₱5,000, and the UB Negosyante app, which lets business owners manage, send, and collect payments through one platform.
For qualified SMEs seeking additional funding, Business Line provides a revolving credit line of up to ₱10 million for various business needs.
Together, these solutions can help entrepreneurs manage collections, meet operating expenses, and access financing as they expand their businesses and serve more customers.
The fair will also bring together hotels, resorts, cruise lines, airlines, travel agencies, and tourism brands offering travel deals, destination showcases, and expert travel insights. As part of the event, complimentary admission will be extended to 100 UnionBank debit or credit cardholders and UnionBank Online users.
As Travel Sale Fair marks a decade of connecting travelers with destinations, its partnership with UnionBank adds support for the entrepreneurs behind those journeys—helping them prepare for their next business opportunity.
