BORACAY, Philippines, 19 February 2024: Boracay remains AirAsia Philippines’ fast-moving getaway destination for individual and group travellers prevailing over Bohol, Cebu, and Puerto Princesa.
Latest AirAsia data shows that 250,000 passengers have planned and booked their flights to the island from February to May. This is already 72% of last year’s 377,000 passengers flown to the island. The increasing figure is expected to contribute to Boracay’s economy, especially since the Department of Tourism and the Local Government of Aklan expect over 2.3 million tourists to visit the island this year.
“Boracay is in the top three in our most visited domestic destinations. It is not just the summer when we see an influx of guests flying to Boracay; it is all year round. 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”, said AirAsia head of communications and Public Affairs and First Officer Steve Dailisan shares.
To provide more convenience, especially for guests who are planning to extend their vacation on the paradise island, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline’s travel partner – TravelOnlinePH, officially opened its Travel & Service Center right on the epicentre of Boracay to cater to tourists who would like to either have their tickets rebooked or book other flights elsewhere, find cheap hotels, activities, and other travel offerings, with the assistance of dedicated travel experts.
Situated at Station 2, AirAsia’s Travel & Service Centre is accessible to guests since its location is close to 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 added.
