An unforgettable three-day celebration of exploration, elegance, and experience
If there was ever a perfect place where wanderlust meets lifestyle, it was at WanderMart 2025—a spectacular convergence of travel and leisure held from August 15 to 17 at the luxurious Crystal Pavilion of Okada Manila. This one-of-a-kind expo, organized by Silk Events Management and proudly supported by the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), redefined the way we explore the world, all under one roof.
In partnership with the Hotel and Restaurant Association of the Philippines (HRAP), this event brought together the best of the best in hospitality and tourism. HRAP alone filled 35 booths, spotlighting premier local destinations and leading industry suppliers, showcasing the strength and beauty of the Philippine tourism scene.
The grandeur didn’t stop there—WanderMart 2025 boasted 97 exhibitors across 130 booths, representing a dazzling mix of over 100 travel and lifestyle brands. From international airlines and cruises to resorts, banks, fashion labels, and even golf clubs, the expo was a vibrant marketplace of adventures waiting to happen.
A Grand Opening with a National Seal of Approval
The opening ceremony was graced by none other than DOT Secretary Maria Esperanza Christina Frasco, symbolizing the government’s unwavering support in revitalizing domestic tourism. Her presence affirmed the importance of industry collaboration and innovation in shaping the future of travel in the Philippines.

Every single guest also had a shot at winning big. Just walking in meant being entered into a raffle draw with major prizes up for grabs, including a roundtrip ticket to South Korea and a luxurious stay at Okada Manila’s Sky Villa—a dream escape for any traveler.
More Than an Expo—An Experience
WanderMart 2025 wasn’t just about browsing brochures and booking trips—it was a full-fledged travel experience in itself. Immersive booths allowed guests to interact with destinations, test products, join travel-themed games, and talk directly with travel experts.

For HRAP and its member establishments, the expo provided a powerful platform for networking, promotion, and collaboration. It was an opportunity not only to showcase what Philippine hospitality has to offer but to be part of a larger movement rekindling the spirit of travel.
