As part of
its commitment to making banking easier for travelers, East West Banking
Corporation (EastWest) is renewing its support for Philippine tourism through a
two-year partnership with the Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA)
as the exclusive credit card partner and co-presenter of the 37th and 38th
Philippine Travel Mart, the country's longest-running travel trade exhibition.
Building on
its partnership with PHILTOA that began during the 36th Philippine Travel Mart
in 2025, EastWest continues to support Filipino travelers through secure
payment solutions, flexible financing options, and travel-focused credit card
benefits.
During the Philippine Travel Mart, EastWest cardholders can enjoy one complimentary ticket for every qualified ticket purchase, applicable to both 1-day and 3-day passes, from August 1 to September 6, 2026. Cardholders will also have access to special deals and 0% installment payments at select exhibitors.
Visitors can
also expect a one-stop showcase of the best travel experiences the Philippines
has to offer, with nearly 300 exhibitors from across the country. Beyond
exclusive travel deals, attendees can discover emerging destinations, locally
curated experiences, and connect directly with tour operators, hotels,
airlines, and tourism stakeholders.
"Travel
has a unique way of bringing people closer to the places, cultures, and
experiences that matter most. As the Philippine Travel Mart champions
'Nurturing the NextGen Tourism,' we hope to inspire more Filipinos to explore
the country and support them with the payment solutions and benefits that make
every journey easier and more rewarding," said EastWest President
Jacqueline S. Fernandez.
The 37th
Philippine Travel Mart will be held from September 4 to 6, 2026 at the SMX
Convention Center Manila in Pasay City.
