Innovation and Collaboration Take the Spotlight at Beauty + Health & Wellness Manila and Hotel & Foodservice Suppliers Show

The Philippine business landscape saw two powerhouse industries unite as Global-Link MP Events International, Inc. successfully staged the Beauty + Health & Wellness Manila 2025 and the Hotel & Foodservice Suppliers Show at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, gathering over 250 brands across 10,000 square meters of exhibition space.

Designed as a hub for trade, innovation, and collaboration, the twin expos brought together decision-makers, suppliers, and entrepreneurs from across the beauty, wellness, hospitality, and foodservice industries — setting the stage for stronger cross-sector growth.

Co-presented with the Chamber of Cosmetics Industry of the Philippines, Inc. (CCIP), Beauty + Health & Wellness Manila spotlighted both local and international brands, championing sustainable and homegrown solutions.

In her remarks during the opening ceremony, Ms. Christine Michelle Reyes, President of the Chamber of Cosmetics Industry of the Philippines, highlighted the industry’s ongoing transformation and shared a call to action for responsible growth:

“The cosmetics industry has been evolving at an exciting pace. It is really inspiring to witness how our sector, alongside other industries have gotten today, is constantly adapting to the ever changing landscape of consumer preferences, strengths and technology.”

She also emphasized that this progress is fueled by unity and purpose:

“This evolution is not only driven by the resilience and creativity of local entrepreneurs, but also by the collective effort of industry leaders, policy makes and organizations like the CCIP who have always been committed to fostering an environment that encourages innovation, sustainability and responsible growth.”

Her message aligned with the expo’s goal of creating an ecosystem that promotes both business success and social responsibility, echoing her belief that “the demand for quality, safe and ethical business practices in the beauty and wellness sectors is at an all time high.”

Among the event’s key highlights was the “Four Friends, Five Topics, One Conversation” forum — an unscripted roundtable featuring thought leaders from tourism, food and beverage, technology, and lifestyle sectors. The session emphasized innovation, sustainability, and the evolving expectations of modern travelers and guests.

The expos’ business-matching sessions, live product demonstrations, and industry dialogues reinforced Global-Link’s mission to foster meaningful business connections and market-ready partnerships. Thousands of trade buyers and professionals participated, underscoring the industry’s strong rebound and appetite for innovation.

As both the hospitality and beauty sectors continue to evolve post-pandemic, Global-Link reaffirmed its role as a key connector for industries shaping the future of consumer experience in the Philippines and beyond.
