PHILTOA Represents Philippine Travel and Tour Operators at ASEAN Investors Roundtable on Sustainability and Resilience
Yesterday, June 16, 2026, at Conrad Manila, the Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) was honored to be the only travel and tour operators association invited to participate in the ASEAN Investors Roundtable on Sustainability and Resilience, representing the perspective of ground operators who directly shape and deliver tourism experiences across destinations
PHILTOA President Maria Lourdes Flor Japson represented the association in this important high-level dialogue, highlighting the vital role of tour operators in investment assessment, destination readiness evaluation, product development, and market access. As industry players working directly on the ground, tour operators provide real-time insights on traveler behavior, operational realities, and destination dynamics ensuring that tourism investments are not only strategic on paper but also practical, market-driven, and sustainable in implementation.
This participation reinforces PHILTOA’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to ASEAN tourism investment conversations and strengthening collaboration toward a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable tourism future.
