Tourism Operators Unite in Region 7 or TOURS7, a group of 30 members (as of counting) with the aim of fostering camaraderie and shared learning in its industry, is organizing its first ever travel fair in its six-year history dubbed as Byahe ‘ta Bai on September 13-15, 2019 at Robinsons Galleria Cebu.

Due to the success of such event in Manila, and the insistent demand of the Cebuanos, Klook is bring the Klook Travel Fest for the first time in Cebu, as part of celebrations for their 2nd anniversary in the Philippines!

There is no denying that the Cebu Lechon is the best and most delicious there is, and that no trip to the Queen City of the South will be complete without taking a bite of its famed crunchy golden brown skin, and juicy, tender, and flavorsome meat.

Traveling isn’t just about capturing Instagram-mable photos of the places you’ve visited and waiting for them to get hundreds of likes. Rather, it is a learning experience – a means to broaden one’s horizon and understand more about different cultures especially of our very own country.
