Taking pride in recognizing Davao City’s robust prospects at the earlier stages of its evolution, Worldbex Services International is more than thrilled to announce the highly-anticipated return of its back-to-back trade shows, the Philippine Building and Construction Expo Davao or PHILBEX Davao and the Travel and Tourism Expo Davao or TLEX Davao this May.
