00:00Sa mga mahilig mag-travel dyan, present kami dyan ni Joshua.
00:04Well, ngayon ay pag-uusapan po natin ang magaganap na 37th Philippine Travel Mart
00:08kasamang presidente ng Philippine Tourism Association, Ms. Malou Japson.
00:13Welcome po sa Rise and Shine Filipinas po, Malou.
00:15Good morning, Ms. Diane. Good morning, Josh.
00:17Good morning, Ms. Malou. Thanks for joining us this morning.
00:20Bakit po napili ng Philippine Tourism Association itong tema
00:24Nurturing the Next-Gen Tourism, Discover Your Philippines Ngayon Tawa?
00:29Before I answer your question, it's not Philippine Tourism Association.
00:34It's Philippine Tour Operators Association.
00:38Philippine Tour Operators Association.
00:40Yes, we are composed of travel and tours agencies and tour operators all over the Philippines.
00:47Okay.
00:47So, going back to your question, why nurturing the Next-Gen Tourism?
00:52Actually, first time in the history of PhilTowa that we have a thematic or progressive theme for PTM
00:58kasi 37th year na namin, di ba?
01:00We started that Next-Gen Tourism in 2024 which is Love the Next-Gen Tourism.
01:06Okay.
01:07That is in conjunction with Love the Philippines tagline.
01:10And then the next year, 2025, we did it like boosting Next-Gen Tourism.
01:16Kasi sa Love the Next-Gen Tourism, nag-plant kami ng seed.
01:19So, parang setting mindset, new mindset for tourism.
01:24And then, nag-water kami for the boosting Next-Gen Tourism the next year.
01:27And this year, nurturing.
01:29Kasi nag-grow na siya and then we have to nurture what we have planted in the tourism industry.
01:34And that's anchored with the four pillars, sustainability, digitalization, inclusivity, and health and wellness,
01:42which is now the core concept for the new tourism after the pandemic.
01:50Ano bang trend ngayon sa pag-travel ng ating mga pag-gambang?
01:53Actually, after the pandemic, I hope you two will agree with me that the face of tourism have changed,
02:00the attitude of the travelers have changed.
02:02So, yung mga bagong siya, naging more than the volume, it's value.
02:08More than mass tourism, it's personalization.
02:11And more than sightseeing, it's actually experiential.
02:16So, ang naging trend na yung mas naging, ang mga travelers is mas gusto yung lang engaging, interactive.
02:26So, mas more on CBT or community-based tourism, outdoor.
02:31Interesting, ma'am, yung sinabi niyo po na health and wellness.
02:33Paano po natin i-integrate dun sa tourism?
02:35Actually, health and wellness is actually one of the product portfolio of the Department of Tourism
02:40under National Tourism Development Plan.
02:43Kasama talaga siya dun.
02:44So, lahat ng product namin, sa Filtoa kasi, we create packages.
02:48Health and wellness is the most convergent product portfolio na pwede mong i-add on sa lahat ng packages.
02:56Like kung leisure, or kung adventure, or kung pang family lang, pwede mo siyang idagdag.
03:02And trend talaga ngayon ng health and wellness after pandemic.
03:05Oo, totoo. Health is very important.
03:08At sya ka, yung iba talaga nilalagyan sa itinerary yung mga wellness.
03:11Yes, sinahanap nila yun.
03:12Oo, okay. So, ano pong pagkakaiba nito pong Philippine Travel Market from all the other travel fares po na meron
03:19po sa atin niyo?
03:21Nakangganda din ang question mo.
03:22And we are proud to say that the difference between ours, the PTM, is actually compared to other travel expos.
03:30Kakaiba kami kasi we're like the mini fiesta.
03:32Kasi we are supported by the Department of Tourism and Tourism Promotions Board.
03:37So, it's being participated by the entire 17 regions plus BARM.
03:41So, when you visit PTM, parang ka nagpunta sa buong Pilipinas.
03:45So, if you have not visited yet a place in the Philippines, parang doon ka makakuha ng teaser na,
03:51ah, ito pala yung inooffer sa Dumaguete, for example, sa Misamis Occidental, the food, the tourism products, lahat na doon.
04:00So, kung nakapunta ka na naman, it's your chance to revisit and know ano yung mga nabago, ano yung mga
04:05latest development.
04:07So, it's like really a mini fiesta and a teaser of the entire Philippine offerings.
04:12Ayun, mag-aam gusto kong balik ang Siargao.
04:14Ayun, nakikita dyan doon.
04:16Medyo mahal din kasi ang flight na punta dyan.
04:18Baka makahanap tayo doon sa Philippine Travel Mart.
04:21Ako, Sikihor.
04:21Ayun, I haven't seen that.
04:23Visit kayo.
04:24Maraming packages doon sa Sikihor and Siargao.
04:28Pero mismo lang pagkagadi mahabang pila.
04:30Oo, actually, maganda rin yung tanong mo.
04:33Kami, sa PTM, we're the very first in the travel expo na nag-digitalize.
04:38So, meron kaming kiosk naman doon, mabilis lang.
04:42At saka may advanced ticket purchase kasi kami ng ticket online.
04:46So, pwede nang bumili online.
04:48Ng pagkating mo, QR QR na lang, scanner lang.
04:50So, mabilis lang.
04:51So, hindi naman siya ganun kahaba kasi nasasala na siya.
04:55Ayun, okay.
04:56Okay. So, Department of Tourism and Tourism Promotions Board ay sumusuporta rin po dito po sa inyong activity night.
05:03Yes. Sila ang aming co-presenter.
05:05And actually, itong PTM, nag-start ito sa PCVC na now is Tourism Promotions Board.
05:11Before, it's PCVC.
05:13Pinasa lang sa Piltoa.
05:15So, kaya supported talaga nila ang Philippine Travel Mart.
05:18Okay.
05:18So, tama po, pwede sila mag-avail ng ticket doon, pero digital na, tama po.

05:25Meron din, ano, meron din mang on-site.
05:27Pero, ang gagandaan, kasi nga, i-QR pa rin naman.
05:31So, mas mabilis lang yung pace nung ano.
05:33Tsaka, mas convenient.
05:34Kasi nasa phone na, nasa mobile phone na, hindi na kailangan.
05:36Awa ka ako yung mga papel, ganyan.
05:38Okay.
05:39Gaano ba kalaki yung mga discounts dito, ma?
05:41Actually, last year, kasi si Philippine Airlines is also our official airline partner.
05:47Last year, they offered 50% off.
05:49And according to them, I cannot just disclose the exact percentage, but more than the 50% that they offered
05:57last year.
