The fair ran five days from 23 - 27 May 2007 at the La Carmela de Boracay Resort. Two selling areas were provided for the buyers mainly composed of local and foreign tourists. Products on sale were souvenir items, beachwear, novelty items, furnishings, natural fiber, and fashion accessories such as bags, shawls, headgears and footwear, including food items and horticulture inputs.

The 2nd OTOP fair focused on selling products produced by the SMEs of the three regions under the DTI OTOP Philippines program. OTOP is one of the priority programs of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to promote entrepreneurship and create jobs in the countryside.

DTI 7 Regional Director Aster Caberte headed the delegation from the Central Visayas Region. The newly elected mayor of Antequera, Mayor Jaime Quibel, also known as the father of the basket industry in the province graced the fair.
