Unlike previous travel expo’s, this one seems to be quiet. Less exposure in media, social networking
sites, not displayed in the event’s list in MOA, and no banners in front of
SMX.
It opened yesterday and we’re able to visit it on a rainy
Saturday afternoon. In spite of the
weather, there are still lots of guests in the event.
Comparing to other expo’s, participating airlines has boomed
in numbers - Air China, AirAsia Inc., Cathay Pacific & Dragon Air, CebuPacific Air, Japan Airlines, Jetstar, Philippine Airlines, Qatar Airways, Singapore
Airlines, Thai Airways, Tigerair Philippines, Zest Airways, Inc.
Some of the participants that I was not able to
notice are All Nippon Airways, Eva Air, and Korean Air – but there are a lot of
package tours going to South Korea.
