For three days, Filipino travelers can turn their bucket lists into bookings as Klook Travel Fest 2025 unleashes flash deals, jaw-dropping discounts, and free travel perks.
Running from today, Oct. 10, to Oct. 12 at the SM Mall of Asia Main Atrium, the festival will feature Buy-1-Get-1 flash deals, surprise vouchers worth up to P10,000, and exclusive 50 percent off promotions across destinations from Asia to Europe. Admission is free, with gates opening daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
“We’ve strategically patterned our promotions with the results of our Klook Travel Pulse earlier this year to make sure we’re giving our Klookers deals aligned with what they’re actually looking for,” said Ulla Roqueza, Klook Philippines’ associate director for marketing.
Travelers can expect promotions on popular attractions such as Hong Kong Disneyland, BigBus Hong Kong, Ocean Park, and the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car. Singapore’s Mandai Wildlife Reserve and the Disney Cruise Line will also headline exclusive offers, while Vietnam’s Sun World theme parks will be featured in Buy-1-Get-1 deals.
Beyond regional hotspots, Roqueza noted that the company is seeing strong growth in long-haul destinations.
“We are already forecasting that next year, long-haul travel such as Europe and Australia will be something we’ll be pushing,” she continued, adding that DIY tours and unique local activities are also gaining traction among Filipino travelers.
Partnerships with major payment providers sweeten the deals further. GCash users can enjoy 0 percent installment plans and extra discounts, while Maya cardholders can score up to 20 percent off hotel bookings. BDO debit and credit cardholders also get 15 percent off their total basket, alongside rewards from Klook’s own loyalty program.
The event also highlights the rise of travel content creators, or “Kreators,” who shared firsthand tips with attendees. Among them are Jax Reyes, known for his viral travel hacks, and Marvin Samaco, who offers budget-friendly itineraries. The Poor Traveler also gave advice for first-timers on international trips.
Roqueza said these sessions were expanded following feedback from last year.
“All of these creators have their own type of traveling, so we increased the number of sessions this year,” she explained. “We want our consumers not only to book but to learn how to maximize their savings and enjoy more meaningful experiences,” she added.
Klook’s growing influence in the Philippines is bolstered by partnerships with the Department of Tourism, where the platform supports initiatives promoting domestic tourism and digitalization. With over 500,000 experiences in 2,700 destinations worldwide, the company continues to emphasize its three core categories: Play (activities and dining), Stay (hotels), and Move (transport).
More than 20,000 admission tickets have already been downloaded for the event, and organizers expect the number to rise as Filipino travelers gear up for the holiday season.
“We really want our consumers to experience the convenience of booking themselves through the Klook app. At the end of the day, it’s about empowering them to discover their best self through travel,” Roqueza said.
