Just in: Megawide-GMR got the winning bid to expand the Clark International Airport, besting out other bidders who are mostly from Chinese companies. Speaking of Clark Airport - or airports in general - why do you think some event venues are near airports? We have the SMX, World Trade Center and the PICC among other venues in Pasay where the NAIA is, the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center in Zambales, an hour away from the Clark Airport is, so on and so forth. What's the value of airports in the Events Management industry?

It's more of a matter of transportation. Notice that in other countries, event venues are nearby airports. Near Japan's Haneda International Airport are venues that can host fairs and concerts. The Suntec Singapore Convention Center is at least 15-20 minutes away from the Changi Airport. The Anaheim Convention Center in California is 20 minutes away from the John Wayne Airport.

Whenever there's an airport, expect that there's a nearby event venue ready to cater to tourists and locals alike, and event management experts who will be booking those venues.

Speaking of events, the Ad Summit Pilipinas 2018 Trade Exhibit will be happening on March 7 to 10 at the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center in Zambales.
