#TravelPH - How Klook’s First Partner Awards Put Filipino Travel Experiences in the Spotlight
There’s something magical about discovering new places in your own backyard—and this year, the spotlight was on the Philippines as Klook hosted its very first Partner Awards, bringing together over 200 tourism merchants from all corners of the country. It wasn’t just an awards night; it felt like a celebration of everything that makes local travel so special.
As someone who loves exploring—from quick weekend getaways to bucket-list adventures—I’ve always believed that the best travel stories start with passionate people. That’s exactly what Klook’s event was all about: recognizing the operators, resorts, hotels, and tour companies who turn ordinary trips into unforgettable memories. Eric Gnock Fah, Klook’s President and Co-Founder, said it best when he credited these partners for the joy and excitement travelers experience through the app.
What really stood out was how Klook’s partnerships have helped shape the local tourism scene. Michelle Ho, General Manager for Klook Philippines, shared that thanks to these collaborations, Klook has become the country’s most trusted travel app, covering over 99 cities. That’s a huge win for anyone who loves to travel—and for the businesses that make those journeys possible.
The awards night was packed with inspiring stories. Enchanted Kingdom’s Cynthia Mamon talked about how teaming up with Klook felt like finding a reliable friend, one who’s helped their partnership grow stronger over the years. Henann Group of Resorts’ Karl Hendrik Chusuey highlighted how innovation and working with Klook have boosted their online presence and created promotions that travelers actually want. And Southwest Tours’ Cedric Sazon summed it up perfectly: “This win is proof that with Klook, we’re revitalizing Philippine tourism and moving forward together.”
It wasn’t just about the big names, either. Hotel101 Group’s Charley Magabo shared how Klook’s platform has helped them reach more travelers—especially those who value convenience and reliability. It’s clear that these partnerships are making travel smoother, warmer, and more memorable for everyone.
With 42 Filipino companies recognized across 16 categories, the event was a reminder of just how much local tourism has to offer. From stunning attractions to cozy hotels and seamless mobility options, the Philippines is packed with experiences waiting to be discovered—and Klook is helping make those adventures easier to find.
So, whether you’re planning your next trip or just dreaming about where to go, remember: the best travel moments are made possible by people who care deeply about what they do. Thanks to platforms like Klook and the passionate partners behind the scenes, exploring the Philippines has never been more exciting.
