As part of its commitment to making banking easier for travelers, East West Banking Corporation (EastWest) is renewing its support for Philippine tourism through a two-year partnership with the Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) as the exclusive credit card partner and co-presenter of the 37th and 38th Philippine Travel Mart, the country's longest-running travel trade exhibition.

Building on its partnership with PHILTOA that began during the 36th Philippine Travel Mart in 2025, EastWest continues to support Filipino travelers through secure payment solutions, flexible financing options, and travel-focused credit card benefits.

During the Philippine Travel Mart, EastWest cardholders can enjoy one complimentary ticket for every qualified ticket purchase, applicable to both 1-day and 3-day passes, from August 1 to September 6, 2026. Cardholders will also have access to special deals and 0% installment payments at select exhibitors.

Visitors can also expect a one-stop showcase of the best travel experiences the Philippines has to offer, with nearly 300 exhibitors from across the country. Beyond exclusive travel deals, attendees can discover emerging destinations, locally curated experiences, and connect directly with tour operators, hotels, airlines, and tourism stakeholders.

"Travel has a unique way of bringing people closer to the places, cultures, and experiences that matter most. As the Philippine Travel Mart champions 'Nurturing the NextGen Tourism,' we hope to inspire more Filipinos to explore the country and support them with the payment solutions and benefits that make every journey easier and more rewarding," said EastWest President Jacqueline S. Fernandez.

The 37th Philippine Travel Mart will be held from September 4 to 6, 2026 at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City.
