The Philippines is set to host the Seatrade Cruise Asia 2024, a major cruise industry gathering, in Taguig City, the Department of Tourism (DOT) announced Saturday.

The event will take place at the Shangri-La The Fort from Nov. 11 to 13 and will gather more than 350 delegates, including cruise line executives, itinerary planners, port agents, and tourism authorities from across the globe.

Co-locating with Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global, the premier event for marine crewing and seafarer welfare, this event will mark a milestone in the Philippines’ growing leadership in cruise tourism.

The DOT said it would also reflect the country’s commitment to fostering a world-class cruise hub in Asia.

“Hosting Seatrade Cruise Asia 2024 underscores the Philippines’ readiness and capability to lead in cruise tourism,” Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco said.

“Our archipelago’s vibrant culture, exceptional hospitality, and breathtaking natural attractions make us an ideal destination for international cruise lines and travelers.”

Throughout the event, attendees will join networking sessions, learning forums, and strategic discussions aimed at propelling sustainable growth and regional collaboration in the cruise industry.

Seatrade Cruise Asia 2024 will open with a welcome reception on Nov. 11, showcasing Filipino heritage through captivating cultural performances.

The event is set to provide an essential platform for dialogue and partnerships, which the DOT sees would drive the country’s cruise tourism industry forward and reinforce its status on the global tourism stage.

To elevate the country’s appeal to cruise operators, the Philippines recently launched a Cruise Visa Waiver, which eases access and streamlines travel for international cruise passengers. (PNA)
