To help maintain the stunning environment of Boracay and encourage tourism and business opportunities, AirAsia Philippines is honored to serve as the carrier airline for delegates from Asean and other Asian countries attending the three-day International Business Forum and Diplomatic Visit in Boracay Island.
The event aims to create a platform for international collaboration and promote economic and tourism partnerships for Boracay.
AirAsia flight Z2 217 will host Ambassadors Abdul Melvin Castelino of Malaysia, Megawati Mana of Brunei, Agus Widjojo of Indonesia, Lai Thai Binh of Vietnam, Phan Peuv of Cambodia, Sonexay Vannayay of Laos, Imtiaz Ahmad Kazi of Pakistan, Minn-Gan Chow of Taiwan, and other diplomatic staff to Caticlan on Thursday, April 18.
According to AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla, issues expected to be discussed by the diplomats, business leaders, stakeholders, and the local government of Boracay and Aklan include opportunities for collaboration, the emergence of digital marketing, and sustainable tourism.
Isla, who is also a panelist in the business forum, expressed his excitement about the forum and the opportunity to firsthand showcase the wonders of Boracay to the diplomatic community.
"As an Asean carrier, AirAsia takes pride in welcoming our Ambassadors to Boracay. By flying our international leaders, we hope to contribute in promoting Boracay not just as a tourist destination, but also as a potential foreign investment hub. This also cements AirAsia's position as a market leader in airline operations in Boracay," Isla said.
Currently, AirAsia Philippines flies to Manila-Caticlan nine times daily, Clark-Caticlan daily, and Cebu-Caticlan three times weekly.
This is on top of the three times daily flights to Kalibo International Airport.
"AirAsia is the preferred airline partner of guests traveling to Boracay because of its affordable fare, best deals with over 1,000 hotels and accommodations in the island available through the AirAsia MOVE platform, and the world class service it offers. All year round, the world's best low cost airline enjoys an average load factor of 90-95 percent with over 300 thousand seats sold for Q1 of 2024 alone. It is in fact the top booked destination among all AirAsia routes," Isla added.
