Khiri Travel has acquired Travel Authentic Philippines (TAP), adding the Philippines as its ninth Asian destination alongside Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Myanmar.
The DMC’s priority is to ensure that its Philippine products satisfy the broad range of tour operator clients that it currently serves, including specialist operators in sectors such as educational travel, adventure, luxury, as well as individual travellers.
Khiri Travel Philippines will promote tourism to non-traditional destinations around the country
The rebranding from TAP to Khiri Travel Philippines will be completed by this month.
Apart from exploration and insights in nearly all the main areas of the Philippines, Khiri Travel’s guests in the destination can expect themed tours such as island hopping, indigenous culture discoveries, architecture and heritage trips, home stays and general sightseeing – all which will be featured during the World Travel Market in London in November.
There will also be opportunities for giving back to the Philippine communities through projects for the Tagbanwa and Ifugao peoples, and more.
TAP country manager, Paulette Viacrucis, will retain her role with Khiri Travel Philippines, and will be supported by Stuart Tayler, who will lead the development and updating of product offerings from Khiri Travel’s office in Cebu City.
“We aim to ensure the Philippine experience for our guests is authentic, original and innovative with a keen eye for community, culture, conservation and sustainable profitability,” said Willem Niemeijer, founder and CEO of Khiri Travel.
Joey Gaston, co-founder of TAP, and now a board member of Khiri Travel Philippines, said that the goal will be to continue promoting tourism to non-traditional destinations around the country.
He shared: “Indeed, Khiri Travel Philippines will offer immersive and responsible travel experiences that highlight the beauty of our wonderful archipelago. We will do this while ensuring sustainable benefits for both the environment and local communities.”
