Makati City, Philippines – Following the resounding success of last year’s Philippine Tourism and Hotel Investment Summit, the Philippine Hotel Owners Association (PHOA) is thrilled to announce Philippine Hotel Connect (PHCon) 2025, a two-day gathering designed to propel the growth of the country’s vibrant tourism and hospitality industry. Scheduled for July 24-25, 2025, at the prestigious Manila Marriott Hotel in Pasay City, the event is co-presented by the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) and Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).
PHCon 2025 is more than just a conference — it is a strategic platform for hotel owners and investors seeking to capitalize on the Philippines’ expanding tourism market. As the industry navigates post-pandemic recovery and evolving traveler preferences, staying ahead of trends, fostering key partnerships, and accessing new investment opportunities are essential for sustained growth and profitability.
The event was officially launched with a press conference and launch on June 30, 2025, held at I’M Hotel. PHOA President Arthur Lopez emphasized, “PHCon 2025 is a collaborative effort among all leaders in the tourism and hotel industry. Through the contributions of time and expertise from our invited speakers, we are able to provide a platform for premier networking and sharing of various strategies that will allow us to solidify and establish the ever-growing Philippine tourism industry.”
Adding to this, PHOA Chairperson Francis Gotianun shared, “We are grateful for the positive feedback among our confirmed speakers in being part of this event. We are truly elated with the composition of our speakers, moderators, and panelists, who will undoubtedly bring a premier lineup rarely seen at events like this.”
With an anticipated attendance of 250 industry leaders, including hotel owners, investors, developers, and government officials, PHCon 2025 offers unparalleled networking opportunities and exclusive insights into the latest industry developments. Participants will engage in high-level discussions led by renowned speakers such as Mr. Kevin Tan of Alliance Global Group Inc. and Ms. Mariana Zobel de Ayala of Ayala Land Inc., among other distinguished figures.
As the Philippines continues to position itself as a top travel destination, active engagement from hotel owners and investors is vital to shaping a resilient and competitive industry. PHCon 2025 ensures attendees are at the forefront of industry innovations, policy developments, and investment opportunities. It’s an opportunity to influence the future of Philippine tourism while securing investors’ stakes in its promising trajectory.
