Inspired by the growing need to provide the people of Davao with more access to hassle-free travel and leisure products, the first-ever Travel and Leisure Expo (TLEX) Davao was introduced in 2017. 

Now in its successful multi-year run, TLEX Davao champions not only the region's cultural and social development but also its bustling local tourism and hospitality businesses. 

Held at SMX Convention Center SM Lanang, this expo unites travel agencies, tour operators, hotels, resorts, airlines, and tourism boards offering exclusive packages and deals. 

TLEX Davao serves as a comprehensive platform where travel enthusiasts discover new adventures, businesses connect with consumers, and the tourism industry showcases Mindanao's breathtaking destinations—from pristine beaches to magnificent natural wonders, vivacious festivals to historic heritage sites. 

The expo features interactive displays, travel pitches, destination showcases, and special promotions making it the ultimate one-stop destination for all travel and leisure needs in Mindanao.
