Philippines to Host MarketHub Asia 2027: A Milestone on Digital Tourism and Global Connectivity

Mactan, Cebu, Philippines — The Philippines is set to host MarketHub Asia 2027, an exclusive by-invitation-only global TravelTech and tourism marketplace. This marks the first time the prestigious international business-to-business conference will be held in the Philippines.

Slated for the first quarter of 2027, the 6th edition of MarketHub Asia will convene approximately 400 global client-partners, thought leaders, senior decision makers, and digital travel innovators from 16 international source markets, including the Middle East, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Southeast Asia, and Australia, among others.

“With the majority of global tourism transactions now taking place online, it is timely for the Philippines to take a more strategic and proactive approach in strengthening our digital visibility,” said Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco.

“By engaging the world’s leading digital distribution partners, we expand our global reach, improve ease of access, and create stronger pathways for inbound travel to the Philippines.”

HBX Group officially announces Mactan, Cebu, Philippines as the host destination of MarketHub Asia 2027. In photo (from left): David Amsellem, Chief Distribution Officer, HBX Group; Cleofe Albiso, Managing Director, Megaworld Hotels & Resorts (MHR); Sharlene Batin, Assistant Secretary, Department of Tourism; Loleth So, Group Commercial Director, MHR; Asha Sumputh, CEO and Founder, Waterlily Project Ltd.; and Xabi Zabala, Chief Sourcing and Operations Officer, HBX Group.

 

“This milestone is significant for the Philippine hotel and tourism industry because its impact extends far beyond a single sector,” the Tourism Chief added. “Global events such as MarketHub create a ripple effect across the entire tourism value chain—from airlines and airports, to hotels, transport providers, food and beverage enterprises, tour operators, technology partners, and local communities. Hosting MarketHub 2027 reinforces the importance of working together as one tourism ecosystem to deliver inclusive and sustainable growth.”

Representing HBX Group, Xabi Zabala, Chief Sourcing and Operations Officer, and David Amsellem, Chief Distribution Officer, underscored the organization’s core strengths and mission. “At HBX Group, our focus has always been on building the digital foundations that allow travel to move efficiently across borders,” Xabi Zabala said. “Our strength lies in our global network, our advanced e-commerce infrastructure, and our ability to connect thousands of travel products and distributors through trusted, scalable platforms.”

“As we continue creating opportunities that connect markets and destinations at scale, the Philippines stands out as a market with so much for the world to discover,” David Amsellem added. “There is real depth and diversity here, supported by an ecosystem that is increasingly ready to engage globally. MarketHub Asia 2027 allows us to connect that potential to our worldwide network in a meaningful, structured, and sustainable way.”

The selection of the Philippines as host also affirms its steady advancement as a competitive Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) destination in Asia. Continued investments in convention infrastructure and event-ready facilities have strengthened the country’s capacity to stage high-level global events. At the same time, the Filipino culture of hospitality—characterized by warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail—adds a distinct human dimension that elevates every gathering into a meaningful and memorable experience.

Instrumental in bringing MarketHub Asia 2027 to the Philippines is Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, the country’s largest homegrown hotel operator, which will host the event within Megaworld’s Mactan Newtown, a master-planned township designed to support integrated business and leisure travel.

Delegates will be accommodated at Savoy Hotel Mactan and Mercure Mactan, with conference sessions to be held at Mactan Expo, Cebu’s newest large-scale convention and exhibition venue.

Mactan Expo has already demonstrated its capability to host world-class events, having recently served as a key venue for the ASEAN Tourism Forum held in January 2026—providing added assurance of the Philippines’ readiness to host high-level international gatherings.

As one of the more tangible outcomes of the ATF 2026, the three-day TRAVEX 2026 generated PHP 1.43 billion in sales at the Mactan Expo. The ATF meetings among Southeast Asian NTOs and dialogue partners also took place in Cebu City at the NUSTAR Convention Center, the largest venue outside Metro Manila, reinforcing Cebu’s growing reputation in the MICE sector.

Cleofe Albiso, Managing Director of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts and President of the Cebu MICE Alliance, expressed pride in supporting the initiative.

“More than a responsibility, hosting MarketHub Asia 2027 is a privilege and an opportunity to give global industry leaders a compelling reason to rediscover the Philippines,” Albiso said. “Our role is to help create an environment where meaningful conversations take place, partnerships are formed, and global leaders are inspired by the depth of experiences the country can offer.”

She noted that MarketHub has traditionally been staged in globally celebrated destinations. “MarketHub has been hosted in destinations known for setting benchmarks in travel and tourism. With the most recent edition successfully concluded in Bali, expectations are understandably high,” Albiso added. “The Philippines is prepared to deliver an experience that is both professionally executed and distinctly memorable.”

In the first quarter of 2027, Mactan Island in Cebu, Philippines will welcome approximately 400 global client-partners, senior decision-makers, and digital travel leaders from 16 international source markets for MarketHub Asia 2027.

 

As the Philippines prepares to host MarketHub Asia 2027, the event underscores the country’s strategic push to strengthen its position within an increasingly digital and interconnected global tourism marketplace.

The TravelTech and tourism conference is expected to expand livelihood opportunities for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by attracting both domestic and international tourism investments through business-to-business meeting opportunities, further increasing tourist spending on activities, experiences, food, and services.

Through this platform—anchored on data-driven connectivity, digital distribution, and business-to-business collaboration—the Philippines deepens engagement with international partners, expands its global reach, and advances its competitiveness in the evolving travel landscape.

MarketHub is HBX Group’s premier platform for advancing dialogue, collaboration, and innovation—bringing together the global players that power travel bookings through digital distribution, data-driven connectivity, and business-to-business e-commerce.

SM Hotels Joins the Veritable List of Winners at the 2025 World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards

SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation (SMHCC) was conferred the “2025 World’s Leading Sustainable Circular Economy” at the prestigious World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards in Dubai for its ‘Plate for the Planet’ program.

The said awards aim at recognizing, celebrating, and sharing game-changer stories of both individuals and organizations that make an indelible impact and contribution in sustainable travel and tourism. All submissions were meticulously screened by Sustainable Business students at Nova Business School and reviewed by the Advisory Board.

SM Hotels wins the “2025 World’s Leading Sustainable Circular Economy” at the World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards. Photo shows (from left) SMHCC Vice President for Quality and Sustainability Leah S. Magallanes and SMHCC Executive Vice President Peggy E. Angeles.

‘Plate for the Planet’ seeks to expand healthy and environment-friendly dining options, directed towards reducing dining wastes and mitigating GHG emissions in the food service industry. “Through the program, SMHCC endeavors to halve per capita global food waste at both the consumer and production levels, while greening supply chains and maintaining the food waste per cover, below industry levels as part of our decarbonization plans,” said SMHCC Vice President for Quality and Sustainability Ms. Leah Magallanes.

The program is part of SMHCC’s Sustainable Diner Program where every item on the menu is carefully curated, featuring locally sourced and hotel harvested ingredients. This initiative is a testament of SMHCC’s commitment to circular economy in its operations. Food waste is managed through traditional composting of layering with bacteria and the more modern way of using a bio digester. “Compost is then used as fertilizer in our gardens and partner farms, while the harvested herbs, vegetables, and fruits are used by our chefs to prepare a delicious dish – a ‘Plate for the Planet’. As such, we have partnered up with SM Foundation farmers through their Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan (KSK) program for our composting and gardening efforts,” adds Ms. Magallanes.

In particular, ‘Plate for the Planet’ advances the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) on Responsible Consumption and Production, reinforcing the company’s thrust on global sustainability standards. This strategic direction is systematically implemented across all SMHCC properties, integrating responsible practices into daily hotel operations. Dedicated Sustainability Champions at each property ensure these initiatives are actively upheld, measured, and continuously strengthened.

This global recognition affirms SMHCC’s leadership in driving circular innovation within the hospitality industry, proving that sustainability and exceptional guest experiences can go hand in hand. As the company continues to elevate its environmental commitment across all properties, it remains steadfast in shaping a future where every stay and every plate contribute to a more sustainable world

Richmonde Hotels Keep Romantic Traditions Alive

Some traditions never lose their charm—especially those that invite people to pause, reconnect, and celebrate the relationships that matter most. This Valentine’s season, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas, Eastwood Richmonde Hotel, and Richmonde Hotel Iloilo present thoughtfully curated dining experiences and staycation escapes designed to turn meaningful moments into lasting memories. Through inspired cuisine, attentive service, and immersive seasonal offerings, Richmonde Hotels continue to honor the timeless ritual of celebrating love together.

“Occasions like Valentine’s Day remain meaningful because they give us a reason to slow down and appreciate one another,” shares Cluster General Manager Jun Justo. “At Richmonde, we see hospitality as a way to nurture these traditions by creating spaces where genuine connections and unforgettable experiences naturally come to life.”

Richmonde Hotel Ortigas: A Love Story Told Through Filipino Flavors

At Richmonde Hotel Ortigas, romance takes center stage with Ang Kwento ng Pag-Ibig, a pre-Valentine’s dinner on February 13, 2026 at Richmonde Café. The five-course Filipino-themed degustation captures the evolving stages of love through thoughtful storytelling and elevated flavors.

The journey begins with cured tuna tartare brightened with calamansi, followed by heritage-inspired bringhe arancini that blends nostalgia with contemporary flair. A comforting guava-sinigang broth paired with salmon ravioli brings warmth and depth, while the main course offers a choice between slow-braised beef adobado or spirit-kissed halabos prawn. The evening concludes on a sweet note with tibok-tibok panna cotta drizzled with muscovado syrup, complemented by curated wine, cocktail, or mocktail pairings.

“Kwento ng Pag-Ibig” Pre-Valentine’s Day Dinner at Richmonde Café.

“Our intention was to create a menu that reflects the emotional arc of love,” says Food and Beverage Manager Ria Rosal. “And Filipino flavors provide familiarity, allowing diners to connect with the experience on a deeper level,” adds Sous Chef Rowell Manahan.

Guests wishing to extend the celebration may take advantage of the “Lucky Match” room promotion throughout February, blending Valentine’s festivities with the auspicious spirit of Chinese New Year. On February 13, special bundled packages combine an overnight stay with dinner for two, offering a seamless romantic escape.

Eastwood Richmonde Hotel: Shared Indulgence for Every Kind of Love

At Eastwood Richmonde Hotel, Valentine’s Day embraces every expression of affection with Relish in Love, an intimate dinner on February 14, 2026 at Eastwood Café+Bar. Designed around the idea of shared indulgence, the experience features a plated entrée of U.S. prime rib with local sea bass alongside a buffet selection of fresh salads, roasted garlic and cinnamon pumpkin cream soup, comforting sides, and decadent desserts. A dedicated kid’s menu, with an option of chicken or bratwurst served with spaghetti, ensures that celebrations remain inclusive for families as well. Each meal includes a round of drinks, from house wine to chilled juices and coffee or tea.

Eastwood Richmonde Relish in Love Dinner.

“Valentine’s celebrations today extend far beyond couples,” shares F&B Manager Dave Banez. “Many of our guests choose to mark the occasion with family or close friends, so we intentionally designed a dining experience that embraces every expression of love.” Executive Chef Pete Paluga adds, “Our aim was to craft a menu that feels inclusive and enjoyable for everyone—bringing together beloved date-night classics with familiar favorites to create a meal that’s both special and satisfying.”

Complementing the dinner is the “Lucky in Love” accommodation package, with overnight rates on February 14 bundled with the Valentine’s dinner for two. Discounted room offers throughout the month further enhance the festive mood, blending the spirit of Valentine’s Day with the good fortune of Lunar New Year.

Richmonde Hotel Iloilo: Ilonggo Warmth and the Spirit of “Palangga”

In Iloilo, Richmonde Hotel Iloilo celebrates the Ilonggo spirit of palangga—a word that speaks not only of romance but also of care, warmth, and community—through Angga, a Valentine’s Day dinner on February 14, 2026 at The Granary.

The experience highlights generous, shareable dining with buffet-style appetizers, charcuterie, desserts, unlimited plated selections, bread baskets with assorted spreads, and a glass of wine. “The concept of palangga inspired us to create something heartfelt and welcoming,” says Executive Sous Chef Rey Parreño II. “We wanted the experience to feel abundant, comforting, and distinctly Ilonggo.”

Okada Manila Deepens Its Commitment to Sustainability Across Retail Operations

The Forbes 5-star integrated resort Okada Manila continues to advance its sustainability agenda by strengthening the responsible practices already embedded across its operations—from how spaces are designed to how guests engage with everyday experiences. Guided by Okada Green Heart (OGH), the resort’s sustainability program, these ongoing efforts focus on making environmental responsibility and community support visible, practical, and consistent throughout the property.

Across its retail areas, Okada Manila brings these principles to life through thoughtful design choices and operational decisions that prioritize efficiency, accessibility, and long-term impact. Visual enhancements, improved layouts, and sustainability-led updates are being rolled out to ensure that retail environments support both guest experience and responsibility, in line with the Energy Efficiency and Talent and Community pillars of Okada Green Heart.

Across its retail areas, Okada Manila brings these principles to life through thoughtful design choices and operational decisions that prioritize efficiency, accessibility, and long-term impact.

 

A clear example of this approach is the recent refresh of The Gift Boutique. The space was redesigned to improve flow, product visibility, and ease of discovery—bringing Okada Manila-branded merchandise and curated consignment items together in a more organized retail setting. As part of the update, the resort installed energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the store and further reduced the use of single-use plastics by transitioning to eco-friendlier packaging options.

Okada Manila continues to advance its sustainability agenda by strengthening the responsible practices already embedded across its operations.

 

Integrated within the refreshed boutique is the Okada Green Heart Corner, a permanent retail feature introduced in the last quarter of 2025. The corner showcases products developed in partnership with non-government organizations and community-based enterprises, supporting ethical livelihoods and community development through everyday gifting. The selection includes locally made treats from Manila Cookie Story, handcrafted accessories by Fresh Hope—created by women supported through livelihood and skills development programs—and culturally inspired souvenirs from Aciapak, which highlights Filipino identity through locally themed designs. By placing these products in a central retail space, Okada Manila expands the reach of its partners and creates sustained opportunities beyond limited campaigns.

According to Alvaro Ramos, Assistant Vice President, Retail, Leasing/Retail, the emphasis is on consistency across all guest touchpoints. “We look at sustainability as part of how we operate every day, not as a separate initiative,” he said. “Whether it’s how our retail spaces are designed, the products we carry, or the partners we support, our goal is to make responsible choices visible and easy for our guests.”

Integrated within the newly-renovated The Gift Boutique is the Okada Green Heart Corner, a permanent retail feature introduced in the last quarter of 2025. It showcases products developed in partnership with non-government organizations and community-based enterprises.

 

Beyond retail, Okada Manila continues to strengthen sustainability initiatives across the resort under Okada Green Heart. These include water stewardship through Nordaq Water, which significantly reduces single-use plastic bottles; the installation of electric vehicle charging stations to support energy-efficient mobility; and waste-reduction programs such as Soap for Hope and Linen for Life, which repurpose hotel amenities and linens to support community needs. The resort also continues to advance responsible dining through plant-forward menu initiatives that promote sustainable sourcing and resource efficiency.

Together, these efforts reflect Okada Manila’s ongoing commitment to embedding sustainability into daily operations—across spaces, teams, and guest experiences.
