Vacations cannot get any better as Hotel Sales and Marketing Association (HSMA), the leading organization of hotel sales and marketing leaders, returns with its annual September Online Sale, now with 85 hotels and resorts participating in the online travel fair.
Originally launched in 2020 to support the hotel and hospitality industry during the pandemic, the September Online Sale has grown to become the Philippines’ largest online travel event, known for its great deals and exciting offers.
“Today, we welcome you to the launch of our year five of September Sale, exclusive online deals. This program is more than just an annual sale. It has been a platform that has witnessed the survival, revival and growth of our local tourism industry. It is also a space that has inspired our member of hotels to showcase their properties, share their creativity and their unique ideas through their promotions, and tell the stories that truly matter,” stated Tet Romualdo, Secretary of HSMA, during the media launch last August 14 held at the Sheraton Manila Bay.
Starting on September 1, the month-long sale is a great opportunity to kick off the Christmas shopping by giving the gift of travel to your loved ones. The sale offers vouchers for hotel stays, weekend getaways, dining packages, spa treatments, and more.
Romualdo’s presentation showed that HSMA SOS 2022 sales generated the highest at Php35.6M with 5,854 vouchers sold. In 2023, the sale saw approximately 3,700 vouchers sold, generating a revenue of Php19M. The top ten selling properties included Twin Lakes Hotel in Tagaytay, El Nido Resort in Miniloc Island, Palawan, Bai Hotel Cebu, among others.
Last year, member properties from Southern Luzon, Palawan, Leyte, Davao, Cebu, Bohol, and Boracay accounted for the highest revenue from total sales.
