The Philippine business world recently witnessed a major event where two massive industries—beauty and hospitality—came together under one roof. Global-Link MP Events International successfully staged the Beauty + Health & Wellness Manila 2025 and the Hotel & Foodservice Suppliers Show at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia.
Bringing together over 250 brands across a massive 10,000 square meters, this twin expo wasn't just a tradeshow; it was a strategic hub for innovation and collaboration, designed to forge stronger connections between suppliers, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers in wellness, hospitality, and food service.
The Spotlight on Responsible Growth
The Beauty + Health & Wellness Manila expo, co-presented with the Chamber of Cosmetics Industry of the Philippines, Inc. (CCIP), championed both local talent and international trends. The focus was clearly on sustainable and ethical solutions.
During the opening ceremony, Ms. Christine Michelle Reyes, President of the CCIP, acknowledged the industry’s rapid transformation. She emphasized that progress is driven not just by the creativity of local entrepreneurs, but by a collective commitment to responsible growth.
In her remarks, Ms. Reyes underscored a critical shift in consumer demand: “The demand for quality, safe and ethical business practices in the beauty and wellness sectors is at an all-time high.”
This message perfectly aligned with the expo's goal: to create a business ecosystem where success and social responsibility go hand-in-hand. The days of profit over purpose are over; consumers now expect quality, safety, and ethics from the brands they support.
Cross-Sector Synergy: Unscripted Dialogue
A standout feature of the event was the “Four Friends, Five Topics, One Conversation” forum. This unscripted roundtable brought together thought leaders from diverse sectors—tourism, food and beverage, technology, and lifestyle—to discuss pressing themes.
The core of their conversation revolved around innovation, sustainability, and the ever-changing expectations of modern guests and consumers. This cross-sector dialogue highlighted how interconnected the industries are. For instance, the wellness trend driving beauty is the same one influencing menu choices and hotel amenities. True success now requires looking beyond your own lane and seeing the bigger picture of consumer experience.
Fueling the Industry Rebound
Beyond the main exhibitions, the expo was packed with practical, action-oriented activities.
Thousands of trade buyers and professionals participated in key events like:
- Business-matching sessions: Designed to foster meaningful, market-ready partnerships.
- Live product demonstrations: Allowing professionals to see, touch, and test the latest innovations firsthand.
- Industry dialogues: Offering deep-dive discussions on current market challenges and opportunities.
These activities reinforced Global-Link’s mission to be a vital connector for these industries. The overwhelming participation signals a strong post-pandemic rebound and a healthy appetite for new products and fresh ideas across the hospitality and beauty sectors.
As the beauty and hospitality sectors continue to evolve at a relentless pace, Global-Link affirms its critical role in bringing these powerhouse industries together, shaping the future of consumer experience in the Philippines and providing a clear runway for business success.
