The Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines announced that the 16th Regional Travel Fair (RTF) will be held from November 14 to 16, 2025, in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. The event aims to bring together key players in the tourism sector and showcase new offerings from MIMAROPA, promoted as “Your Destination of Choice.”
TPB Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles said the fair will give travelers better access to “experiences that are proudly local, deeply cultural, and uniquely Filipino.”
“It is fitting to culminate this year’s Regional Travel Fair here in Palawan, one of the Philippines’ most celebrated destinations,” she said. “From its lush rainforests to its white sand beaches, MIMAROPA exemplifies the natural beauty and character that define the Philippines as a world-class destination.”
The three-day event begins with a Business-to-Business (B2B) session on November 14 at Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa, where 52 buyers and 53 sellers from across MIMAROPA will meet to explore partnerships and opportunities.
On November 15 and 16, the fair opens to the public at Robinsons Palawan. Visitors can enjoy exclusive discounts on tour packages, flights, and accommodations, along with interactive segments and tourism showcases from DOT regional offices, LGUs, and industry partners.
TPB will also organize familiarization tours around Puerto Princesa and nearby towns, highlighting eco-tourism attractions and community-based enterprises, including Iwahig Penal Farm, Mitra Ranch, Binuatan Creations and Delma Pearl, and Baker’s Hill.
The event is organized with the support of the Palawan provincial government, Puerto Princesa City government, Provincial Tourism Council, Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and 2GO.
Through initiatives like the RTF, TPB continues to promote domestic tourism and strengthen industry collaboration.
