The expo is organized by Worldbex Services International. The Tourism Promotions Board lists the event dates as September 24 to 27, 2026, at the World Trade Center Metro Manila.

Explore My Manila Tourism Expo

The My Manila Tourism Expo is scheduled for September 25 to 27 at Foro de Intramuros.

The event focuses on Manila’s tourism, culture, heritage, food, attractions, and local experiences. Its program includes talks, cultural activities, demonstrations, and showcases.

The expo gives visitors a chance to learn more about destinations and experiences around Manila in one location.

Because the event is being held in Intramuros, visitors can also explore the historic district before or after attending the expo.

Check Out Philippine Film Industry Month Events

Film fans can still catch activities under Philippine Film Industry Month during the week.

The Film Development Council of the Philippines is holding programs connected to the celebration of Philippine cinema. The 2026 program includes film screenings, talks, and the Sine Kabataan Short Film Festival.

The program highlights the Second Golden Age of Philippine Cinema. Some of the film screenings and talkbacks are free.

Activities continue through September 26. Visitors should check the Film Development Council of the Philippines website for the latest schedules, screening locations, and registration details.

Plan a Weekend in Intramuros

Intramuros is another option for people who want a cultural day out during the weekend.

The district has historic sites, museums, churches, restaurants, and walking areas. The Intramuros Administration also lists activities and tours through its official events calendar.

Visitors planning to explore the area should check the official schedule before going because tour times and available activities can change.

For those attending the My Manila Tourism Expo from September 25 to 27, adding a visit to nearby attractions can also make the trip part of a longer day around the historic district.
