Biggest hospitality suppliers show comes to Cebu

The Philippine hotel, resorts and hospitality industry continues to thrive with more properties and hotel brands both international and home grown opening up in various parts of the country.

In Cebu, the industry is expected to grow even further with the opening of the new international airport terminal in Cebu this year. Experts predict that the number of rooms in the city will increase by at least 2,500 two to three years from now, with the inventory currently standing at 5,000 rooms per night.

To help ensure that hotels, resorts and restaurants are equipped with the latest equipment, products and technologies, Global-Link Exhibitions Specialist Inc. will be bringing its renowned Hotel Suppliers Show to Visayas for the very first time. The Visayas Hotel Suppliers Show will be held on June 28 to 30, at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino, Lahug.

“The country is clearly reaping the benefits of the aggressive tourism campaign led by our government and this is very evident in Cebu, especially with the opening of the new terminal in Mactan Cebu International Airport,” said Patrick Lawrence Tan, CEO of Global-Link.

“As more tourists come in, the more we need to ensure that our industry is able to provide an experience at par with the global standards. This is why after years of success in Manila, we decided to bring the Hotel Suppliers Show here to Cebu – to help local industry players position their brands well and stay relevant amid the tight competition.”

Visayas Hotel Suppliers Show is the first expo in the region showcasing everything the hospitality industry needs. Visitors can look forward to seeing the latest offerings of top companies.
