Travel Agency Discounts, Pasalupong, Influencer Sharing, and Fun Game Challenges All in One Place

MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 4th Travel Sale Expo (TSE 2026), a grand annual travel event in the Philippines, will take place from October 2 to 4, 2026, at the SM Megamall Megatrade Hall in Manila! The Taiwan Pavilion set up by the Taiwan Tourism Administration is located at a prime spot in the center of the exhibition hall (Booths 104 and 109). Featuring the main slogan "Waves of Wonder" and a signature bright orange visual theme, the pavilion offers Philippine visitors rich Taiwan travel information and exclusive deals.

Notably, the Taiwan Pavilion is joined by three top local travel agencies to provide one-stop consultation and booking services for flight tickets and tour packages.
