Likewise this year’s show is also a great opportunity for various automotive companies and related associations to reach out and connect to a wider market by underscoring their ingenuity and respective expertise.

As quoted by one of the founders and administrator of the Cebu Diecast Car Collectors, Mr. Michael Vincent Chua, ‘’It has always been a pleasure working with CAS in accomplishing our vision of bridging the gap between diverse car enthusiasts, whether they be actual car collectors or a toy car collectors. And not just that, over the years, we have seen the show as a bonding experience for parents and their children or even for the whole family!’’

More than just your typical auto show, CAS has truly made a lasting mark on the lives of automotive enthusiasts and it will continue to do so each year. On one hand reeling in much-needed economic activity for the industry as it fosters B2B connections and on the other, nurturing the enthusiasm of the public towards cars and all things related to the automotive scene, there is no doubt that CAS is the region’s most influential auto show.
