BAGUIO CITY -- The Baguio Flower Festival Foundation, Inc. (BFFFI) bared higher tourist arrivals in the city for activities lined up for the 29th edition of the Panagbenga.
Panagbenga media committee chair Andrew Pinero said that since the staging of the 74th January Fil-Am Invitational Golf Tournament in late November up to the middle of December last year, the Baguio Country Club (BCC) and other hotels in the city had realized 90 to 95 percent occupancy rate which is already considered high in the industry as there were only a few rooms that were vacant due to sudden cancellations from guests due to various reasons.

He added at the start of the new year, the occupancy rate of the hotels and other accommodation establishments in the city was pegged at around 80 to 90 percent, which is still quite high based on industry standards.
The Panagbenga media committee chair said with activities for the 29th edition of the flower festival rolled out, tourists have started making reservations with accommodation establishments for their visit to the city during the major highlights of the flower festival, particularly the grand street dancing competition on Feb. 22 and grand floral parade on Feb. 23 including the week-long Session Road in Bloom on Feb. 24 to March 2.
According to him, for the regular attendees of the annual alumni homecoming of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), reservations had already been made when they checked out to guarantee their accommodations for the following year.
The BFFFI lined up some eighteen traditional events for this year’s edition of the flower festival that will run from Feb. 1 to March 2, 2025 with the theme “Blossoms Beyond Boundaries.’
