Travel Expo returns at SMX Clark

The Department of Tourism Region 3 (DoT-3) will host the North Luzon Travel Expo (NLTE) at the SMX Convention Center Clark in the Clark Freeport Zone from 20 to 22 November.

During the Pampanga Press Club’s KapiHann forum on 4 November, DoT-3 Director Richard Daenos said the travel expo was being organized in partnership with the Alliance of Travel and Tour Agencies of Pampanga and the Central Luzon Association of Independent Tour Operators.

He added that the event would return to Clark for its fifth edition and would be co-hosted by the Department of Tourism regional offices in Regions I and II and the Cordillera Administrative Region.

With the theme “North Luzon Unbound: Celebrating Creativity, Empowering Communities,” NLTE 2026 will highlight creative tourism and the role of creativity, culture, local identity and innovation in developing meaningful tourism experiences.

Daenos said visitors could expect exclusive travel deals and a showcase of tourism offerings, including accommodations, attractions and products from micro, small and medium enterprises, as well as participating sponsors.
