The biggest franchise show in Asia is back this September and will, once again, showcase a wide variety of franchise investment opportunities as well as learning sessions for franchise industry practitioners. Slated on Sept. 8 to 11 is the virtual expo while the virtual conference is scheduled on Sept. 21 to 23.
With the theme, Igniting Recovery, Franchise Asia Philippines 2021 hopes to inspire the Filipino nation to rise up from the challenges of the pandemic and pivot to where the opportunities lie. “Without doubt the past two years have been difficult,” says PFA Chairman Richard Sanz, “but we should not let these difficulties weigh us down. Things may have changed but opportunities still abound.”
“That is why we are encouraging everyone to keep your dreams alive,” says PFA President Sherill Quintana. “If you want to start a business and become your own boss, then go ahead. Don’t let the pandemic stop you from realizing your dream because there are still many opportunities out there.” She also adds that franchising continues to be the best option to start a business especially during this time because with franchising you are not alone, the franchisor is always there to help.
