ATIA’s Beyond Borders on the Road Perth event will deliver timely insights into Asia-Pacific travel thanks to the support of major sponsor Philippine Airlines.
As travel professionals navigate an ever-changing landscape and surging popularity for Asia-Pacific destinations, Philippine Airlines have joined as major sponsor for the Perth edition of BBOTR, equipping attendees with the trade knowledge to capitalise on the growing market for the Philippines.
With over 300,000 Australians travelling to the Philippines in the YTD May 2026, and with steady growth in other Asia-Pacific markets according to ATIA’s July Travel Trends Report – now is the time for travel professionals to be confidently selling to WA-based clients.
