Boracay remains the top getaway destination for AirAsia Philippines, with 250,000 bookings already secured for travel between February and May this year.
This already was 72 percent of last year’s 377,000 guests flown to the island, according to the budget ariline.
AirAsia said the rising figure is seen to contribute to Boracay’s economy. The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the local government of Aklan earlier projected 2.3 million tourists to visit the island this year.
“Boracay is top three in our most visited domestic destinations. It is not just the summer when we see an influx of guests flying to Boracay, but all year round,” AirAsia head of Communications and Public Affairs and first officer Steve Dailisan said.
“During the pandemic, this island was a haven for remote work set-up. Now, the island has regained its fame for short and long vacations,” he added.
The other top AirAsia destinations include Bohol, Cebu, and Puerto Princesa.
To provide more convenience, especially guests planning to extend their vacation on the paradise island, Air Asia Philippines’ travel partner TravelOnlinePH opened its Travel & Service Center at the center of Boracay.
Situated at Station 2, the AirAsia’s Travel & Service Center is within close range of mid-range hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, and bars.
“Guests fly to the island to unwind and spend their holiday and we intend to always make their flight booking concerns hassle-free. TravelOnlinePH has always been a reliable offline partner and we extend our warmest congratulations as they achieve this milestone,” Dailisan said.
AirAsia Philippines flies to 13 domestic destinations and 13 international destinations.
