Travel & Tourism

As the Lenten season approaches, millions of Filipinos are once again preparing for the annual Holy Week exodus, filling airports, seaports, and highways en route to the provinces and overseas destinations. 

Mactan-Cebu International Airport is tightening its grip as the country’s second-busiest gateway—and increasingly, its most efficient transfer hub—linking travelers across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao with growing speed and precision.

The Philippine government and private sector are accelerating a joint push to position the country as a serious cruise tourism player, with plans for a dedicated cruise terminal in Metro Manila taking center stage.

Property developer Alliance Global Group, Inc. has reinforced its commitment to nation-building with the record-time completion of the Mactan Expo, a major events facility expected to boost the Philippines’ capacity to host global conventions and exhibitions.

The return of the iconic InterContinental Hotels & Resorts to the Philippine capital is poised to sharpen Manila’s appeal in the fast-growing luxury travel market.
