PHILBEX Iloilo 2024 focuses on the building and design industry of the country, giving a spotlight to the local and international innovators and giving them opportunities to grow and network with the regional sectors. TLEX Iloilo 2024 on the other hand, will focus on the tourism industry in the Philippines, showcasing the beauty of Iloilo’s tourism with its locations, food, and activities. Visitors may also visit the different local travel agencies and get exclusive travel package deals and tours to help them in their travels. And finally, IFBEX 2024 brings you the local cuisine and food culture of Iloilo, showcasing the unique flavors from all over the world to the local region. There are also loads of activities and exhibits for visitors to check out. Some staple activities and events are returning, such as the World of Interior Design, an exhibit that showcases the interior design industry, the World of Architecture, a section where the local architecture firms show their works and projects, and the IFBEX Flair Open Competition, a competition to showcase who can mix the best drinks in the most stylish way.
