Holidaymakers who enjoy shopping while on their breaks may want to book Philippine Airlines flights so they can take part in the World Bazaar Festival in Manila.

The event takes place between December 12th and 18th at the World Trade Centre Metro Manila.

Attendees can expect to be able to browse hundreds of stalls selling a variety of goods, ranging from crafts to the latest technological developments.

Last year, more than 500 exhibitors turned up to showcase their wares at the event, with some booking flights to Manila from all over the world.

Proceeds raised at the gathering are often donated to a charitable cause, so travellers planning to make a purchase can do so in the knowledge that their shopping spree will also help others.

Vacationers planning on staying in Manila through January may want to head to the city's Quiapo district for the Feast of the Black Nazarene, which features a procession of devotees through the streets of the area.
