A Greener Christmas: NTEX Promotes Eco-Friendly Travel Through “Eco Pasko”

MANILA, Philippines – November 22, 2025 – This December 6–7, 2025, the 10th NAITAS Travel Expo (NTEX) welcomes travelers to a meaningful holiday celebration with its special theme: “Eco Pasko.” Happening at the SM Megamall Megatrade Hall, this milestone edition invites Filipinos to embrace a greener way of exploring—one that protects destinations, uplifts communities, and inspires mindful, purpose-driven travel.

More than just a festive travel expo, Eco Pasko showcases eco-tour packages, nature-based adventures, community-led journeys, and sustainable travel brands committed to environmental stewardship. From responsible beach trips to low-impact mountain escapes and heritage experiences supporting local artisans, Eco Pasko encourages Filipinos to enjoy the holiday season through travel that gives back.

“Eco Pasko is our heartfelt invitation for Filipinos to celebrate Christmas differently,” shares Florence Rivera, President of NAITAS.

“This year, we want travelers to experience the joy of gifting themselves with journeys that not only create memories, but also uplift local communities and protect the places we love. Sustainable travel is more than a trend—it’s a shared responsibility, and NTEX is proud to champion it.”
