AT THE start of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, from May 9 to12, an exciting four-day event is about to happen in the largest train station in the world: the Grand Central Terminal in New York City.
Explore Islands Philippines focuses on bringing the best of the Philippines to the world. From the beauty of its 7,641 islands to its dynamic, growing economy, the Philippines’ rich cultural heritage as a cornerstone of its development will be showcased.
Unlike any expo, the entire event — representing every category of the Philippine culture, products, and industries—will take place inside the Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal, where more than 770,000 commuters pass through every day.
Explore Islands Philippines Expo is organized by JS Productions Inc. under acclaimed event designer and book author Jerry Sibal, with the support of the Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT), Tourism Promotions Board Philippines (TPB), Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), Philippine Airlines (PAL) and ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel (TFC).
Explore Islands Philippines Expo is envisioned to bring together the shakers and movers in tourism and investments from the Philippines and the United States. It will showcase the Philippine agenda in tourism, tourism infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics, business process management, infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, agri-business, and medical tourism.
“I am confident that the Expo will successfully present the Philippines as a premier tourism and investment destination,’’ Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel G. Romualdez said in a statement.
