Three industries came together as Global-Link Exhibition­s Specialist Inc. brought Pack Print Plas Cebu, Manufactur­ing Technology Cebu and the Visayas Hotel Suppliers Show under one roof for a massive back-to-back-to-back trade show last June 28 to 30.

“We believe that through this, it will enable key partners to conduct meetings, negotiate sales opportunit­ies and move projects to another level,” said Global-Link chief executive officer Patrick Lawrence Tan.

Aside from the exhibits, guests also participat­ed in live demos, informativ­e seminars and workshops, while expanding their networks by meeting people from leading brands in the hospitalit­y, manufactur­ing, packaging, plastics and printing industry.

Pack Print Plas Cebu and Man- ufacturing Technology Cebu have taken place year after year, but the Visayas Hotel Suppliers Show joined this year as the first hotel suppliers show in the region.

On why Global-Link decided to bring the show to Cebu: “As more tourists come in, the more we need to ensure that our industry is able to provide an experience at par with global standards. We want to help local industry players position their brands well and stay relevant amid the tight competitio­n.”

This year, the three trade shows featured more than 200 brands in over 4,000 square meters of exhibit space at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino’s Pacific Grand Ballroom.
