Just got home from a biggest
Travel Mart at SM Mall of Asia Convention Center. I brought everything, like water
and food, because already expected that this event will be a challenging one. I
saw thousand of attendees at this travel convention because it will only last
for three days (September 2-4, 2016).
I arrived at around 7 AM
but a hundred of attendees were already on the line.
The booth of SkyJet airlines.
Four of the largest airline
companies in the Philippines have their own booths, like SkyJet Airline. I only
have one reason why I attended this Travel Mart and that’s to book a flight
from Manila to Batanes for a very low price. For as low as 727 pesos or 2,727
pesos you can experience the untouched beauty of Batanes. "Sayang ako na sana
ang papasok ng booth ngunit hindi ako nakaabot sa first 400 people na
i-aaccommodate nila for today. Hindi ko na pinilit bumalik dahil sabi ng
management hindi pa raw nila sure kung makakapaglabas pa sila ng next batch."
Booth of Cebu Pacific Airline with their own Low Packages
The booth of AirAsia.
The booth of Philippine Airlines.
There
were several booths inside the convention center catering low travel packages
and here are few:
Province of Aklan.
Province of Palawan.
Province of Bohol.
This amazing booth is for Region
12 (SOCCSKARGEN); or my backpacking in 2017, I will be focusing on the
provinces of North and South Cotabato, Sarangani, Sultan Kudarat. Then, I will
also be adding Basilan, Lanao del Norte, Maguindanao, Sulu and Tawi-tawi. It’s
really simple to plan and create itineraries but budget is the challenging part
– I am looking for sponsors.
