As global travel expenses continue to climb, local staycations and domestic getaways are taking center stage for Filipino travelers seeking high-quality leisure without the hefty price tag. Recognizing this shift toward mindful and value-driven hospitality, Megaworld Hotels & Resorts—the largest hotel operator in the Philippines—has launched its latest tourism initiative designed to make local exploration both accessible and enriching.
Dubbed TARA! (Travel Away & Reignite Adventure), the campaign runs from June 17 through November 29, 2026, with stay periods valid until November 30, 2026. The initiative looks to provide practical avenues for domestic tourists to pause and rediscover the country’s diverse landscapes, offering special promotional room rates that start at Php 3,800.
“For many Filipinos, travel has become more than just a vacation. It is an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones, discover new places, and create lasting memories. Through Megaworld Hotels & Resorts’ TARA! Campaign, we hope to make these experiences more attainable while encouraging locals to travel with more intention to the many destinations our country has to offer,” Loleth So, Group Commercial Director of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, said.
The promotional rollout spans across the operator’s expansive nationwide portfolio, catering to various traveler preferences. For those seeking straightforward, room-only accommodations, participating properties include Belmont Hotel Manila, Savoy Hotel Manila, Grand Westside Hotel, Kingsford Hotel Manila, Richmond Hotel Iloilo, Belmont Hotel Iloilo, and Mercure Mactan Cebu.
Meanwhile, guests looking to pair their stay with a morning meal can opt for breakfast-inclusive packages at Hotel Lucky Chinatown, Chancellor Hotel Boracay, Belmont Hotel Boracay, Savoy Hotel Boracay, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas, and Savoy Hotel Mactan. Premium getaways are also available through elevated lifestyle offerings at the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel and Twin Lakes Hotel.
Unlock travel experiences
Megaworld’s campaign goes beyond discounted lodging, positioning each property as a gateway to curated regional experiences. Sun-seekers can head to the iconic white-sand shores of Boracay for beachfront dining, water sports, and island hopping, while Cebu offers a blend of coastal leisure and its famed culinary scene.
Urban explorers can rediscover the capital through a fresh lens by indulging in staycations, catching live entertainment, shopping at premier lifestyle hubs, or diving into the historic streets of Binondo, recognized as the world’s oldest Chinatown. In the Visayas, Richmond and Belmont properties in Iloilo invite travelers to immerse themselves in celebrated gastronomy, heritage districts, centuries-old churches, and signature Ilonggo hospitality. For a change of pace, Twin Lakes Hotel in Batangas provides a tranquil alpine-style escape, featuring cool mountain breezes, vineyard-inspired vistas overlooking Taal Lake, and scenic nature trails away from urban congestion.
Tara! Book your stay now
To secure these rates, travelers can book directly with their chosen participating property or complete their reservations via the respective official hotel websites using the promo code TARAMHR. The promotion requires a booking lead time of at least 14 days prior to the arrival date. It is important to note that all reservations under this campaign are prepaid, non-refundable, non-cancellable, and non-amendable.
This exclusive offer is extended to local Filipino residents who can present a valid government-issued ID upon check-in, as well as foreign residents holding a valid Alien Certificate of Registration Identity Card (ACR I-Card). Standard blackout dates during peak demand periods, major conventions, and special events will apply. Ultimately, the hospitality group aims to foster a culture of purposeful travel that supports home-grown communities while creating fresh milestones across the archipelago. Ano, TARA?
