The tourism and travel industry are one of the hardest-hit industries when borders closed and lockdowns were imposed due to the pandemic in 2020. Billions were lost and thousands of workers under these industries were laid off. But as vaccines are being rolled out globally, we’ve been seeing the gradual return of tourism; restrictions are easing and borders are opening for vaccinated tourists.
The same goes for domestic travel. More Filipinos are keen to traveling again, whether it is quick beach getaways, staycations, or outdoor activities. We’re already in the ber months and if you’ve begun planning your holiday getaways already, the country’s biggest travel sale happening this month is a bang for the buck event you shouldn’t miss. Now in its second year, the Hotel Sales and Management Association is bringing back the country’s biggest travel sale, September Online Sale (S.O.S), with more discounted travel packages for your best holiday plans yet. Who doesn’t love discounts when traveling?
