Relive the Opening Ceremonies of ITF2026

A powerful beginning to three days of connection, culture, and travel.

From the heartfelt messages of:
Juliet Amazona, Partner of myEventology
Dr. Gelena N. Asis-Dimpas, OIC Regional Director, DOT Central Visayas

To the inspiring keynote of The People’s Governor, Pamela “Pam” S. Baricuatro of the Province of Cebu.

The stage transformed through the Dream. Go. Live. production number highlighting the Waves of Cebu. More than a visual, the waves symbolized the rhythm of Cebu itself its islands, its people, its stories, and its constant movement forward.

Through flowing textiles, the performance mirrored the ocean that connects islands, regions, and the world carrying travelers across domestic and international journeys, moving you through every wave of experience.

From the rise of a dream, to the courage to go, to truly living the journey each motion reflected the essence of travel without borders.

The waves carried the spirit of travel dynamic, evolving, and full of possibility just like every journey that begins at ITF. Dynamic, connected, and ever-evolving just like Cebu, just like travel, just like you.

Dream. Go. Live.
