About Us

OUR STORY

Sometime in 2005, a group of friends united by a passion for food and travel set off on adventurous journeys that would forever change their lives. Along the way, they uncovered uncharted routes, connected with fascinating individuals, and created unforgettable experiences that were etched in their hearts. Over time, these shared adventures evolved into a deep, lifelong partnership, culminating in the establishment of their own travel and tours company in 2015.

 

However, when the pandemic struck the tourism industry in 2020, the traditional ways of operating became increasingly challenging. In response, the management at T3—Travel and Tours, OPC—embraced change by integrating cutting-edge technology into every facet of their business. This digital pivot enabled T3 to continue delivering exceptional, customer-centric services while adapting to the modern travel landscape.

Today, T3 stands stronger than ever as a 100% Filipino-owned company where core members actively engage in strategic and management decisions. Accredited by the Department of Tourism (DOT), the company remains committed to providing travel services that are educational, relevant, and tailored to the needs of its clients.

Over the years, T3 has carved out a modest but significant share of the travel industry by organizing educational tours, leisure and incentive trips, and managing comprehensive bookings for hotels, airlines, and transportation—catering to both Philippine-based and international clients. As part of its ongoing growth and expansion, T3 has diversified its services to include:

  • Design and market bundled domestic/international travel packages, including air travel, accommodations, tours, and ancillary services.
  • Secure reservations for flights, hotels, and transfers while ensuring transparency and consumer protection.
  • Organize guided tours with detailed itineraries and on-ground support.
  • Provide travel consultancy, advice, and assistance with documentation such as visas and passports.
  • Facilitate ancillary services like travel insurance, adhering to DOT-mandated financial and operational standards.

The Triplist story is a testament to the enduring values of its founders, management, and staff. Beyond business expansion, the company remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering goodwill, cultivating lasting friendships, and integrating Christian values among its clients, the travel industry, and the nation—all while harnessing technology to shape the future of travel.

OWNER’S MESSAGE

 MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS

We remember our humble beginnings as a home-based travel agency in 2014, when we first catered to the travel needs of friends and family through ticket sales and referrals to trusted suppliers in hotels, transportation, and tour guides. Although our operations were growing on a small scale, we had yet to gain official recognition. Encouraged by thoughtful suggestions from concerned friends, we decided to establish a formal travel agency in 2015, navigating the many processes required to secure government certification and approvals. This milestone marked the start of my challenging yet rewarding journey as I assumed leadership of the brand.

From the start, we reached out to colleges, universities, local government units, and even international clients. Our office was buzzing with industry travels and ocular inspections as we built relationships and expanded our network. We never settled for a “business as usual” approach. Instead, we aimed to meet both local and international standards by inviting tourism and hospitality experts, upgrading our technology, and standardizing our office processes.

On January 29, 2019, Triplist was recognized as a Department of Tourism (DOT) Accredited Travel and Tours Agency—a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team.

The pandemic brought unprecedented challenges, forcing us to temporarily close our doors and rethink our strategies. Yet, this difficult period taught us invaluable lessons. It pushed us to innovate, integrate technology into our operations, and reimagine our business model. As a result, we emerged stronger, with renewed commitment and a deep appreciation for the lasting relationships and friendships we forged along the way.

Today, we continue to uphold our accreditation and continue to live out what is expected of us.

To all our stakeholders, we remain focused on our vision to be the superior tour management company that provides efficient and effective services. We will continue to persevere. We will succeed.
