The Philippine Tourism Roadshow is a joint initiative of the Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT), Philippine Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), Buzz Travel Marketing, and various travel agencies and tour operators from the Philippines and India.

It also aims to foster networking and business partnerships between Philippine and Indian travel companies.
The “Love the Philippines” campaign, which is the centerpiece of the roadshow, aims to promote the country's sustainable tourism practices and encourage Indian travelers to discover the unexplored gems of the Philippines. From the alluring beaches of Boracay to the fantastic dive destinations of Bohol and Palawan, the campaign invites travelers to experience the warmth and hospitality of the Filipino people and create unforgettable memories in the country.
