Nearly 100 hotels and resorts nationwide slash rates up to 75% this September
(Pasig City, Philippines – August 29, 2025)… The Hotel Sales and Marketing Association (HSMA) proudly announces the return of the September Online Sale (SOS) 2025, the country’s most eagerly awaited online travel fair offering up to 80% off on accommodations, dining, and leisure packages from nearly 100 participating hotels and resorts across the Philippines. Running from September 1 to 30, 2025, SOS 2025 is the premier platform for Filipino travelers seeking exceptional value and convenience when booking their next getaway–and to showcase how much they ‘Love the Philippines.’ This month-long online fair allows travelers to lock in the best deals for stays valid until 2026 and even 2027,
Now in its 6th year, SOS has become a trusted platform for Filipino travelers looking for both affordability and quality. Under the theme “Discover the Best Stays in the Philippines,” SOS 2025 highlights experience-driven packages curated for families, couples, barkadas, business travelers, and even fur parents.
This year’s edition highlights the Department of Tourism’s flagship campaign, Love the Philippines, underscoring HSMA’s commitment to support the DOT’s focus on the domestic market and encourage more Filipinos to explore local destinations.
Unlike traditional travel fairs that require guests to brave Metro Manila crowds and traffic (not to mention the additional challenge of finding parking), as well as quick, on-the-spot decision-making, SOS 2025 offers travelers the luxury of browsing and booking the best hotel and resort deals from the comfort of their homes. With a full month to explore options, travelers can take their time to find the perfect accommodation without the pressure of crowded venues, traffic concerns, or time constraints.
“SOS provides a more relaxed, flexible, and accessible booking experience that truly puts travelers first,” said Ma. Celeste Romualdo, HSMA SOS Project Head/Director for Membership. “Our platform, accessible via hsma.org.ph/sos, eliminates the stress of traditional travel fairs while delivering even better value.”
Unmatched variety
As an initiative organized by HSMA, made up of the best sales and marketing leaders from the country’s top hospitality establishments, SOS 2025 guarantees the best and lowest rates available for the entire month of September, compared to other booking platforms. Travelers can enjoy discounts of up to 75-80% percent on accommodations nationwide, along with special offers on hotel and resort restaurants, social banquets, corporate meeting functions, spa treatments, fitness packages, and wellness experiences.

Carefully designed experiences
“HSMA is excited to give travelers not just discounts, but carefully designed experiences across all regions of the Philippines. Through SOS, we’re making world-class hospitality more accessible while boosting our domestic tourism industry,” said Loleth So , HSMA President.
“Love the Philippines finds its perfect partner in SOS. Together, we invite Filipinos to rediscover our destinations, support local tourism workers, and celebrate the richness of our country,” added Assistant Secretary Sharlene Batin, Department of Tourism.
“What makes SOS truly special is how our member hotels and resorts unite for one cause: to give travelers the best value while showcasing the breadth of Philippine hospitality. This collaboration is our way of ensuring that every Filipino can discover world-class stays right here at home,” said Tet Romualdo, HSMA Director of Membership and Project Lead for SOS.
“This year’s SOS is not just about discounts, but about curating meaningful experiences — from family-friendly vacations to wellness escapes and even pet- and Muslim-friendly packages. We want every traveler to find a stay that feels tailor-made for them,” said Amie Villena, HSMA Vice President and Co-lead for SOS.
