As the “ber” months begin, Filipinos have another reason to celebrate: the return of the Hotel Sales and Marketing Association’s (HSMA) much-anticipated September Online Sale. The annual event, running from September 1 to 30, 2024, offers travelers and gift-givers a golden opportunity to snag incredible deals up to 75% off on hotel stays, dining packages, and more from 85 participating hotels and resorts across the Philippines.
When it all started
What began in 2020 as a lifeline for the hospitality industry during the pandemic has now blossomed into the country’s biggest online travel fair. The annual travel event is not only about discounts but also about making travel dreams come true. It also follows three core objectives: to fuel the Philippine travel group, provide travelers with huge savings, and revitalize the hospitality industry. “Our goal is to encourage domestic tourism by continually inspiring locals to choose Philippine destinations for their travels,” said Ma. Celeste Romualdo, HSMA Secretary and General Manager of The Linden Suites.
Nationwide travel sale
This year’s sale features properties grouped into nine clusters, ensuring diverse choices. Whether you’re eyeing a luxurious stay or festive celebration, a serene escape and quiet retreat, or a rejuvenating weekend break, the options are endless and there’s something in store for everyone. Ranging from the bustling hubs of Alabang, Pasay, Parañaque, Manila, Makati, Taguig, Pasig, and Quezon City; and the connectivity of Southern and Northern Luzon, all the way to the serene landscapes of Cebu and Davao, the nature’s goodness of Bohol, Iloilo, and Bicol, and the refreshing waters of Boracay and Palawan, these clusters highlight the best the Philippines has to offer.
Christmas starts on September
For those who believe that the best gifts are experiences, HSMA’s month-long September Online Sale is the perfect chance to get ahead on your Christmas shopping. Give your loved ones vouchers for a memorable getaway, a sumptuous dining experience, or a relaxing spa treatment.

This year, the event promises even more exciting deals for you to choose from.
