TRAVEX 2026 Highlights: Where ASEAN Tourism Connects, Shares and Grows

Networking

A Premier Platform for ASEAN Tourism Exchange

TRAVEX 2026 is set to be one of the most influential travel trade events in Southeast Asia, bringing together tourism leaders, sellers, buyers and media from across the region and beyond. Designed to go far beyond a traditional exhibition, TRAVEX delivers meaningful engagement, in-depth knowledge sharing and first-hand destination discovery, making it a must-attend event for professionals shaping the future of ASEAN tourism.

Hosted alongside the ASEAN Tourism Forum, TRAVEX 2026 offers a dynamic environment where business development, collaboration and inspiration come together in one highly curated programme.

Networking Beyond the Exhibition Floor

At TRAVEX 2026, networking does not end when the exhibition hall closes. Delegates can continue conversations in relaxed, informal settings designed to foster genuine connections. Hosted luncheons, gala dinners and late-night social functions create valuable opportunities to engage with industry peers, decision-makers and destination hosts.

These social settings encourage deeper dialogue, partnership building and idea exchange, allowing relationships to develop naturally beyond formal meetings and appointments.

Direct Insights from ASEAN Tourism Leaders

media briefings

A key highlight of TRAVEX 2026 is access to exclusive media briefings led by National Tourism Organisations from all 10 ASEAN member states. These sessions provide timely, first-hand updates on tourism performance, visitor statistics, policy developments and future strategies.

Delegates gain early insight into new tourism products, emerging markets and destination priorities across Southeast Asia. For travel buyers, media and tourism professionals, these briefings offer invaluable context for planning, storytelling and investment decisions.

Discover the Philippines Through Curated Experiences

TRAVEX 2026 also places strong emphasis on destination immersion through a carefully designed programme of pre- and post-event activities. From guided city tours before the show to extended visits to Philippine destinations after the event, these experiences allow delegates to explore the country beyond the conference venue.

These tours provide a deeper understanding of local culture, attractions and tourism infrastructure, supporting more authentic product development and destination promotion.

ASEAN Tourism Conference: Shaping the Future
