TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol — Travel dreams are turning into instant bookings at the Sandugo Bohol 5th Tourism & Travel Expo, which opened at the Island City Mall Activity Center on July 29, 2026. The three‑day event brings together the province’s top tour operators under one roof, with Ecotravelers Travel & Tours leading the charge with exclusive expo‑only deals.
A One‑Stop Shop for Every Traveler
Stepping into the expo means stepping into a world of possibilities. Ecotravelers’ booth is a hive of activity, with travel consultants helping visitors piece together their perfect island escape. From Bohol countryside classics to international flights, every service is available without the usual endless scrolling.
Families browse packages for Balicasag Island and Anda’s cave waterfalls, while solo adventurers inquire about Pamilacan dolphin watching and firefly river tours. The booth’s ferry ticketing partners include OceanJet, Trans‑Asia, Lite Shipping, and FastCat, covering all inter‑island routes. Airline bookings can also be arranged on the spot, making the expo a true one‑stop travel hub.
Deals You Won’t Find Online
The real draw is the pricing. Ecotravelers rolled out expo‑only discounts on room reservations, tour packages, and transportation bundles. Visitors are locking in rates that won’t appear on any booking site, paying deposits and receiving printed confirmations immediately. The tangible, face‑to‑face transaction builds trust in a world dominated by digital uncertainty.
First‑time Bohol tourists are especially grateful for the personalized assistance. Rather than navigating dozens of online reviews, they sit with a local expert who tailors an itinerary to their interests and budget. The expo transforms a potentially overwhelming planning process into a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
Green Travel Takes Center Stage
Ecotravelers’ name reflects a deep commitment to sustainable tourism. The agency showcases community‑based tours that directly support local barangays, including school outreach programs and plastic‑waste awareness campaigns. Bookings made at the expo often include options to participate in coastal clean‑ups or visit farm‑to‑table restaurants.
This eco‑friendly approach aligns with Bohol’s status as the country’s first UNESCO Global Geopark. The expo provides a platform for operators who prioritize environmental stewardship, educating visitors on responsible travel. The message is clear: explore the island’s beauty while preserving it for future generations.
A Festival of Deals and Discovery
The expo runs through July 31, giving travelers just enough time to secure their next adventure. It is held alongside the broader Sandugo Festival, which commemorates the historic blood compact between Datu Sikatuna and Miguel López de Legazpi. The festive atmosphere spills into the mall, with cultural performances and local delicacies adding to the experience.
For those still hesitating, the appeal is simple: walk in, sit down with a real person, and walk out with a fully booked dream vacation. Whether it’s a quiet weekend in Anda or a multi‑country journey, Ecotravelers and the Sandugo Travel Expo make the world feel just a reservation away.
