Trends Travelmart International Corporation is a medium-size service agency with 16 years corporate experience in the travel and manning industries.

It is composed of officers and staff with a combined 25 years expertise and exposure brought about by employment and active participation in the industry.

Trends Travelmart operates on the basic philosophy of providing only the best, most cost efficient, honest and personalized service that are basic virtues of business growth. At thesame time, the agency enjoys a healthy and strong relationship with competitors, and has the warm support of airline companies and its clients.

Since its inception in 1989, Trends has come a long way from having only four people at
start-up to the present 20, all of whom can be considered experts in the marine manning
industry. It has memberships and accreditation in the following important business associ-
ations: the Makati Chambers of Commerce, the Philippine Travel Agencies Association -
(PTAA), as well as the International Air Transport Association of IATA.

To signify it strong commitment to help in the promotion of Philippine tourism to the world, Trends ventured into inbound operations in 1993. As a result, the company acquired accreditation with the Department of Tourism and membership with the Philippine Convention and Visitors Corporation, two goverment agencies that are at the forefront of the Philippine tourism industry.

By 1995, Trends has established business relationships with international entities such as the Schulte Group of Companies, Argo Travel-Instone, which ushered in a global alliance that further enhanced Trends credibility and capability in the competitive Philippine ship’s crew market.
