PHILIPPINES WINS BID TO HOST THE WORLDCHEFS ASIAN PRESIDENTS FORUM

The Philippines, through the efforts and collaboration between the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines and the LTB Philippines Chefs Association, won the bid to host the Worldchefs Asian Presidents Forum in 2023.

World Association of Chefs Society (WORLDCHEFS) Continental Director for Asia Chef Willment Leong made the official announcement on 06 August 2022, during the Philippine Culinary Cup awarding ceremony at SMX Convention Center.

“Over the years, the national government, in partnership with private entities, invested heavily on improving Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE)-related infrastructure across the country. And with this, we are more than ready to host the Worldchefs Asian Presidents Forum next year. This will also be a great opportunity to position the Philippines as the culinary center of excellence in Asia,” said TPB COO Maria Anthonette Velasco-Allones.

The Worldchefs Asian Presidents Forum is a three-day event that aims to foster camaraderie between chefs in the Asia Pacific region with programs such as presentation of the latest gastronomical trends, knowledge-sharing on sustainability practices and culinary education sessions.

The forum will bring together 30 delegates from different Asia Pacific chefs associations with around 3000 expected attendees including professional chefs participating in the programs, competitions and exhibits. Attendees will also have a chance to see the local markets in the Philippines and get a taste of the unique dimensions and diversity of the country’s cuisine and culture.

The Worldchefs Asian Presidents Forum will be held on August 2-5, 2023 co-located with WOFEX, the biggest and most effective food trade show in the country.
