The itch to travel is back, and the search for the next homegrown escape is happening at the SMX Convention Center Manila. Running from July 10 to 12, the Travel Madness Expo has become the ultimate playground for wanderlust-driven Filipinos looking to turn their dream itineraries into reality. Leading the charge with a curated selection of staycation and leisure experiences is Megaworld Hotels & Resorts (MHR), the nation’s largest hospitality operator, welcoming eager globetrotters at Booth Nos. 39-42.
At the heart of their showcase is the TARA! (Travel Away and Reignite Adventure) campaign. Seamlessly aligning with the Department of Tourism’s “Discover More to Love” domestic initiative, the movement is designed to reignite a passion for regional exploration, making it simpler for travelers to dive into the unique cultural and structural tapestries of the country’s premier hubs.
“Through our TARA! campaign and our participation in the Travel Madness Expo, we hope to make local travel more accessible and encourage more Filipinos to visit destinations where there is a Megaworld Hotels & Resorts property. Traveling within the Philippines is one of the best ways to appreciate the incredible diversity of our destinations while helping local communities thrive,” said Loleth So, Group Director of Commercial.
For city dwellers and weekend warriors alike, the offerings span a dynamic range of properties. Travelers seeking sleek, urban stays can access exclusive room-only rates starting at Php 3,800 at major metropolitan and regional hotspots, including Belmont Hotel Manila, Savoy Hotel Manila, Grand Westside Hotel, Kingsford Hotel Manila, Richmonde Hotel Iloilo, Belmont Hotel Iloilo, and Mercure Mactan Cebu.
Meanwhile, those who view a morning meal as an essential part of the vacation ritual can secure overnight stays inclusive of breakfast starting at the same Php 3,800 baseline. This selection features a mix of heritage, business, and tropical backdrops, including Hotel Lucky Chinatown, Chancellor Hotel Boracay, Belmont Hotel Boracay, Savoy Hotel Boracay, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas, and Savoy Hotel Mactan. For a more elevated retreat nestled in nature or a vibrant lifestyle township, Eastwood Richmonde Hotel and Twin Lakes Hotel are unlocking special rates starting at Php 5,800.
The window to score these curated TARA! promotions span from June 17 through November 29, 2026, with an open stay window valid until November 30, 2026. Securing a spot is straightforward, requiring a direct booking on the preferred hotel’s website using the digital code TARAMHR, or via a quick call to the property’s reservation desk.
For the spontaneous traveler who prefers to lock in a deal now and decide on a destination later, open-dated room vouchers are also up for grabs at the expo. Yielding price cuts of up to 70% off future stays, these vouchers offer the ultimate flexibility for modern itineraries without sacrificing standard promotional savings. With a vast footprint spanning the archipelago, MHR continues to pave a seamless path toward discovering the country’s diverse landscapes, inviting everyone to simply say “TARA!” to the next great escape.
