Don’s Travel Brings the Philippines to Tourism EXPO Japan 2026

Don’s Travel was among the Philippine exhibitors at Tourism EXPO Japan 2026, joining tourism professionals from around the world in Tokyo for one of the region’s major travel industry events.

Held from September 24 to 27 at Tokyo Big Sight, the event brought together tourism organizations, travel companies and industry professionals from 74 countries and regions, alongside representatives from all 46 Japanese prefectures. With the theme “The Changing Nature of Travel,” the expo explored how travelers’ interests and expectations continue to evolve.

As one of the Philippine booths at the exhibition, Don’s Travel had the opportunity to showcase the Philippines to Japanese visitors, travel professionals and potential partners. The company highlighted the country not only as a destination for sightseeing, but as a place for authentic experiences, cultural connections and meaningful journeys.

Strengthening Philippine-Japan Tourism Connections

Beyond the exhibition floor, Don’s Travel also participated in a hosted tourism trade meeting at the residence of the Philippine Ambassador to Japan, H.E. Mylene Albano.

The gathering provided an opportunity to exchange ideas with Ambassador Albano on ways to further promote the Philippines as a tourism destination for the Japanese market and strengthen tourism ties between the two countries.

Don’s Travel also had the opportunity to meet with Undersecretary Stanley Ng, discussing emerging opportunities, potential collaborations and the future of Philippine tourism.

For the company, these meetings represented more than business discussions. They were opportunities to build relationships and explore new possibilities for cooperation between tourism stakeholders in the Philippines and Japan.

From Connections to New Journeys

For Don’s Travel, some of the most memorable moments of Tourism EXPO Japan 2026 came from the personal connections made throughout the event.

In tourism, a simple introduction can become a conversation, a conversation can develop into a partnership, and a partnership can eventually create new experiences for travelers.

With the Philippines and Japan celebrating 70 years of diplomatic relations in 2026, tourism continues to provide an important avenue for people-to-people connections, cultural exchange and closer ties between the two countries.

For Don’s Travel, being part of Tourism EXPO Japan 2026 was an opportunity to represent the Philippines, exchange ideas, meet new partners and open doors to future possibilities.

As travel continues to evolve, Don’s Travel remains focused on creating journeys that go beyond simply visiting a destination, journeys built around discovery, culture, connection and meaningful experiences.

Because every great journey can begin with a simple connection.
