Despite the high temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius and a heat index of up to 43 degrees Celsius in the Philippines and surrounding countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam, visitors were not deterred from immersing themselves in the travel ambience.
Budget carrier AirAsia Philippines said over 1.5 million passengers have already made reservations for domestic and international summer trips as of April 8.
The majority of these travelers are choosing to visit beach and island resorts, as well as heritage sites and cultural destinations where they can enjoy the sun.
In order to assist travelers in maximizing their trips, the carrier is providing a set of crucial travel tips on overcoming the hot weather while creating enduring summer memories.
The first tip is to opt for loose clothing crafted from lightweight fabrics to enhance air circulation around the body. Avoid doing strenuous outdoor activities between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you are going on a walking tour, always bring protection such as sunblock, sunvisor, and umbrella.
Consider traveling at night to enjoy the night markets and other attractions. Drink more water than usual. Practice sustainable travel by bringing your own water container.
Be aware of the following symptoms of heat exhaustion: extreme fatigue, dizziness and vomiting, headache, cold sweat, and rapid heart rate. Travel insurance is always recommended which covers medical expenses.
"Everyone loves to have fun in the sun. Adequate planning will save you a lot of stress. To make lasting memories together with your loved ones, it is important to travel safely and responsibly. We know how much travel means to you. Let us all take care and enjoy the best deals on flights and hotels via airasia Move. Any amount you save on your flights and hotels goes a long way to allow you to spend more at the destination," AirAsia spokesperson Steve Dailisan said.
Dailisan emphasized that responsible traveling entails a collective effort from both passengers and airline personnel to ensure cleanliness within and outside the airport facilities, as well as onboard the aircraft.
"Being a responsible tourist also includes keeping the aircraft clean which contributes to our commitment to delivering the best affordable and on time air travel as it saves extra time for any additional cleaning between flights," Dailisan added.
