Cebu is set to host ATF TRAVEX 2026, reaffirming the Philippines’ central role in Southeast Asian tourism as industry leaders from across ASEAN come together to shape the region’s future.

As the flagship travel trade event of the ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF), TRAVEX continues to be a key platform for collaboration, idea-sharing, and long-term partnerships. It brings together national tourism organisations, buyers, sellers, media, and policymakers with a shared vision: strengthening ASEAN’s position as a united, competitive, and sustainable tourism destination.

One of the highlights of ATF TRAVEX 2026 will be the participation of all 11 ASEAN Member States, including Timor-Leste, the region’s newest member. Delegates can expect valuable insights into emerging destinations, evolving travel trends, and the strategies shaping tourism growth across Southeast Asia.

According to the Tourism Promotions Board Philippines, hosting ATF TRAVEX is both a responsibility and an opportunity — reflecting ASEAN’s growing momentum, regional connectivity, and commitment to working together in an increasingly competitive global tourism landscape.

As ATF celebrates its 45th anniversary, ATF TRAVEX 2026 stands as a milestone event, reinforcing a shared sense of purpose and highlighting ASEAN’s collective vision for navigating the future of tourism together.

I landed in Entebbe after a 12-hour flight from London. Entebbe, adjacent to Lake Victoria, benefits from a tropical rainforest climate with steady, pleasant temperatures throughout the year. It was enjoyable to stay and experience both Entebbe and Kampala—the relaxed lakeside charm of Entebbe and the vibrant energy of Kampala offered a nice introduction to Uganda. I stayed at Entebbe Forest Lodge, which provided a peaceful base to explore the local attractions. But like many other adventurous tourists, I was eager to travel southwest to visit Uganda’s national parks in search of mountain gorillas and golden monkeys.

I was standing on a wooden platform on the bank of the Zambezi River gazing at the magical vista. As I walked along the forested river bank breathing in the fresh air, I wondered how one man changed the landscapes along the river and around the magnificent Victoria Falls. The land used to be inhabited by the Lozi people, who were survivors from the disintegration of the Rozwi kingdom of Great Zimbabwe.

I’m at the Toka Leya Camp which is located at Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.

The iconic Victoria Falls Hotel is unlike any other traditional hotel. It’s a historic hotel that was built as part of an ambitious project amidst an extraordinary landscape, one of the natural wonders of the world. Its existence is due to the development of the railway system in Zimbabwe in the early 20^th century. The original structure was built to accommodate the workers on the railway.

I arrived at the city of Torquay and spent some time by the harbour before going to my hotel. It was a sunny day in mid-April and the city had just began to recover from the effects of the pandemic. The harbour was relatively quiet with just a few tourists taking pictures of the beautiful boats and yachts moored there. People were enjoying the outdoor cafes and restaurants, some of whom were still wearing masks. This is the birthplace of Agatha Christie, born here in 1890.
