MAKATI, PHILIPPINES — We all have that “someday” list, especially when it comes to fantasy trips. Maybe it’s a family cruise through the Caribbean, a solo soul-searching trip in Japan, or a luxury weekend tucked away in an El Nido lagoon.
But as February rolls around and the months start flying by on the calendar, those 2026 travel resolutions often risk becoming “next year” plans instead.
The good thing is your dreams don’t have to stay dreams forever. They can still make it out of the group chats when you head to the Glorietta Activity Center on February 20 to 22, 2026 for The Metrobank Travel Fair, which transforms the heart of Makati into a one-stop portal for the world’s best destinations.
Whether you’re a budget-savvy backpacker or a luxury jetsetter, here is how you can map out your year of adventure:
1. The Heavy Hitters are All in One Room
Forget opening 50 browser tabs on just as many airline and booking websites—the fair already brings together the industry’s elite in one place.
Score exclusive rates from top-tier airlines like Philippine Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways, and United Airlines. If you’re looking for a place to stay, giants like Shangri-La, Discovery Hotels, and El Nido Resorts will be on-site with deals you won’t find online.
2. Think Beyond Just Flights
2026 is the year of the “slow travel” experience. The fair features a massive lineup of cruise partners, including Disney Cruise Line (that’s perfect for the family), AmaWaterways, and Riverside Luxury Cruises.
For those who want their itinerary handled by the pros, experts from Rakso Air Travel and Klook will be ready to help you customize your dream escape.
