The World Travel Expo was recently held at SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia complex in Pasay City last October 6 - 8, 2017. The said event was participated by various travel and tour agencies, airline companies, hotels and amusement destinations and many more. This year’s theme is “Ride to the Dawn of Travel Revolution… Your Next Level of Destination.

The three-day expo aims to provide exciting travel and stay deals across domestic and international channels. We attended the second day (October 7, 2017), there were resource speakers sharing their thoughts about tourism and travel industry in the Philippines. This event is the perfect venue for all travelers and even staycation buddies.  You can avail affordable deals from a wide variety of hotels and resorts starting from far north to down south of the Philippines that travel agency offers.

Planning to go to Puerto Princesa? Here is where nature begins and never ends.

The reason why we attended the event was to find an affordable airfare to Singapore for our January 2018 travel. Unfortunately, we haven't got any. Too bad! Never give up, keep looking.

Nonetheless, roaming around the entire real estate of the venue will allow you to find something. We were able to get a budget-friendly Manila Ocean Park deal for just Php 700/person which will allow you to visit 13 different attractions. It includes the Oceanarium; Musical Fountain Show; Sea Lion Show; Marine Life Habitat; Birds of Prey Kingdom; Trails to Antarctica, which include Slide O Fun, Penguin Exhibit and the Snow Village; All Star Bird Show; Jellies Exhibit; Penguin Talk Show; Fish Spa, and Sharks & Rays Dry Encounter. As of blogging, Metrodeal for 13 attractions to the said park is Php 950/person from Php 2,650. We've got the best buy already!

Going to Manila Ocean Park is not complete without staying in H2O Hotel. My husband and I booked an Aqua Room for only Php 2,999.00 instead of Php 13,420. The room features a huge aquarium on the wall with fishes of all colors, shapes and sizes. I am very excited to experience their marine-themed room, I can’t wait any longer.
