Established in 2004 to
further international exchange through tourism, Philippine Travel & Tourism
Council, a national travel and tourism organization, has since involved
itself in a broad range of promoting tourist traffic to the Philippines
through various activities overseas and tourism promotion activities in the
Philippines. These engagements have taken the form of operating Tourist
Information Centers in the Philippines for foreign visitors, consolidating
reception facilities for these visitors, and promoting international
conventions and trade fairs.
PTTC supports its goals by conducting tourism-related research and
publishing travel magazine and travel videos.
One of the important functions of PTTC regional chapters offices are to help
the travel industry sell travel to Philippines to their clients. PTTC

and develop tour packages which will sold by all the PTTC members
particularly travel agencies and tour operators. PTTC will provide
up-to-date information on travel to and in the Philippines.
