This influencers’ trip is a one-of-a-kind adventure to the Philippines as Apl.de.Ap will be your host and tour guide.

Tour packages range from USD1800 to USD1950 per person which is inclusive of roundtrip international flight from selected cities in the US to Manila, airport transfers, hotel with daily breakfast, activities and travel insurance.
Apl’s love for his country is reflected through the lyrics of his song that he wrote for the Philippine Department of Tourism(PDOT) that says, “Places to go, things to see, welcome to my home, my country. Beautiful sights, I want you to see. It’s more fun in the Philippines. It makes you feel like you’re in a dream.”
