Tan said, “For this event, we have invited various airlines, hotels and other tourism businesses to offer very affordable special prices, and we expect positive results as this is an international event, especially because of our partnership with MICECon.”
“There will be 200 delegates at the MICECon event from all over the world, specifically from Australia, Singapore and HongKong,” she said, adding that this will become an avenue for the promotion of Davao City.
With 20 local travel agents joining the occasion, airlines participating in the event are Cebu Pacific Airlines, Tiger Airways, Southeast Asian Airlines (SEAIR), Air Asia and Zest Air while also supporting the event are Tourism Malaysia and Sabah Tourism.

Pasquil invited people to the event, saying, “If you drop by, you will definitely get amazing discounts on huge packages.”
