Throughout both events, 2GO unveiled its unique travel portfolio to industry peers and travel enthusiasts present. As an experiential sea travel provider with a wide range of options across varying budgets, 2GO is a prime travel product that more agents and tour operators can push to the diversifying market. 

 

Blessie Cruz, 2GO Senior Assistant Vice President and Head of Group Marketing said, “Apart from 2GO’s ‘Sail, Sulit, Saya’, we were also able to highlight sea travel as an alternative to exploring the country. Sea travel is more than a mode of transport but an experience. 2GO vessels are fully equipped with amenities travelers can enjoy creating lasting memories on their adventure.”

 

As advocates for the sea travel experience, 2GO launches its Sea Sale for as low as ₱88 from August 8 to 12, 2023.
