From hidden gems in Mindanao to must-visit international destinations, TLEX offers a comprehensive selection of travel possibilities suited for every type of traveler.
A major highlight of this year’s expo is the launch of the first-ever Tour Guiding Competition – Interschool Division, a platform that showcases the skills, creativity, and professionalism of aspiring tour guides from various academic institutions. The competition aims to spotlight the next generation of tourism professionals, challenging participants to demonstrate engaging storytelling, cultural knowledge, and effective presentation skills.
