One of the key strategies in promoting tourism is the development of immersive and unique tour packages that cater to a wide range of interests. Local tour operators have been increasingly offering such packages, which have garnered significant interest from tourists.

These packages often combine cultural, historical, and natural attractions, providing visitors with a comprehensive and engaging experience.

What sets CTCI 2025 apart is its emphasis on collaboration. By uniting various stakeholders, the event facilitates the development of seamless travel packages that offer visitors a holistic experience. The synergy among industry players ensures that tourists not only enjoy individual attractions but also experience a well-curated journey that showcases the region’s diversity and charm.

Cebu’s strategic location and rich cultural heritage also make it an ideal gateway to the Visayas region. This event leverages that advantage by offering a platform where tour operators can showcase unique travel experiences that appeal to a wide range of tourists.
