After two years in lockdown, people are on revenge travel – and these celebrities are among the many who are taking their families on a trip to make some memories. Some of them, like Joyce Pring – who gave birth during the pandemic – brought her 11-month-old son along across Europe. Others, like Dawn Zulueta, flew to London to celebrate her 13-year-old daughter’s birthday.

This weekend, June 24 to 26, the Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) is hosting one of the largest Travel Tour Expo at the SMX Convention Center. It is a first since the pandemic hit the travel and tourism industry hard, so big exclusive deals are on the table!

Celebrating Milestones
Birthday traveling is one of the most common reasons people pack their bags for a getaway. Elite Daily writes that vacations, after all, last longer than a party and the experience of being a different place can be enjoyed over a couple of days instead of a few hours.

Going On Adventures
Taking a family vacation has been known to serve as a "happiness anchor" for kids as they get older. This means that happy childhood memories can help adults get through difficult times that they encounter in life. Besides making irreplaceable memories, traveling also gives children an idea of how to spend money wisely, according to this Smart Parenting article.
Bianca Gonzalez and JC Intal in Palawan
The Intals were recently in Miniloc Island in the El Nido area of Palawan for a beach holiday. Bianca's Instagram featured the couple playing a game of pingpong, which Bianca says is the only sport she can beat her former basketball star husband at. One of the highlights of their trip appears to be a cave visit, which Bianca says her daughter Lucia wanted to do because, "It's so spooky!"

Jinkee and Manny Pacquiao in Switzerland and Germany
International boxing champion and local politician Manny was able to take some time off to travel with his wife Jinkee and kids. Their first stop was Germany, where the Pacquiaos took photos in Titisee-Neustadt. From their sleeveless tops, it's clear that the weather was warm and they only needed a light sweater when nighttime came. Lake Titisee is known for its year-round water sports activities and the surrounding trails of the Southern Black Forest Nature Park.

Jinkee and Manny are traveling with their children Michael, Princess, Queenie, and Israel. Their other son, Jimuel, is tagged in the photos, but it shows that he is training in the United States to pursue his amateur boxing career. He won a boxing match in California in May 2022.
