The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is enforcing a two-day stop-and-go traffic scheme along Andrews Ave. in Pasay City.
The traffic measure started on Monday in connection with the weeklong Philippine Travel Exchange (PHITEX) 2022, the biggest government-organized travel trade event in the country.
MMDA acting chairman Carlo Antonio Dimayuga III deployed 139 personnel along the dedicated route for the seamless movement of delegates from the airport to the billeting hotels, venues, and other engagement areas.
Aside from the deployment of its personnel, the agency has also prepared ambulances and tow trucks to respond to emergencies.
The event, which will be held from October 18-24 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, Newport World Resorts, Manila, was organized by the Tourism Promotions Board, the marketing and promotions arm of the Department of Tourism.
Established in 1996, PHITEX hosts qualified buyers worldwide who participate in business appointments with Philippine sellers. Participants also experience the country’s tourist spots through pre/post tours.
Event organizers adopted in 2020 a hybrid format combining online and onsite sales and business networking.
