As an inbound tour operator for Bacolod and Negros, I always make it a point to attend the annual Philippine Travel Mart held at SMX MOA. It is the time to meet new friends in the tourism industry and to promote Bacolod and Negros Occ as their next travel destination.
This year, it was held on Sept. 5-7, 2014. Zamboanga City will have a presentation during the day and no less than Congressman Celso Lobregat with son Marco and Councilor VP Elago were there to support. I introduced myself to the congressman as he was the boss of my late dad many years ago.
