As Boracay’s hospitality landscape continues to evolve, Kaban Hotel & Casino (Boracay) is laying the groundwork for meaningful partnerships long before opening its doors. On July 31, the property participated in the CALABARZON Tourism Business Exchange (CTBEX) 2026, a business-to-business tabletop event, connecting with more than 300 travel agents, tour operators, and tourism stakeholders from across the Philippines.
Organized to strengthen tourism collaboration and business development, CTBEX has become one of the country’s key networking platforms where destinations, hotels, and travel professionals come together to shape future travel experiences.


For KABAN, the event was an opportunity to introduce a new hospitality concept emerging in Boracay’s Station 0. Representatives shared the property’s vision of combining contemporary accommodations, premium gaming, curated dining, and destination-driven experiences under one roof, while exploring strategic collaborations with travel agencies and wholesalers ahead of its launch.
“Partnerships remain at the heart of tourism,” GM Sherwinne Cabalang shared. “As we prepare to welcome our first guests, we are equally committed to building strong relationships with the travel community that will help shape memorable Boracay experiences.”
