Yang and Taiwan Tourism Information Center in Manila (TTIC in Manila) director Cindy Y.T. Chen, together with executives and representatives from major airlines and travel agencies.

Chen noted that according to the Taiwan Tourism Administration’s (TTA) mid-year 2025 statistics, the Philippine market for Taiwan tourism continues to perform strongly.
With the support of visa-free entry and targeted promotional campaigns, Taiwan remains one of the top choices for Filipino outbound travelers, with its four-season climate, convenient transportation, diverse street food, vibrant shopping experiences, and warm hospitality among the key attractions drawing Filipino tourists.
This year’s fair also welcomed travel blogger Xzar Lim and Filipino actress Bea Binene, who shared their personal travel experiences in Taiwan, inspiring even greater interest among attendees of the travel fair.
