BIZ BUZZ: Filipinos raring to fly for the summer

Temperatures are rising and soon, our favorite beaches will be sprawling with tourists who are looking forward to getting tanned this summer.

In fact, AirAsia Philippines said they have already recorded over half a million forward bookings for April and May.

The hottest local destination? The popular Boracay, of course.

Other travelers also booked their flights to Cebu, Tagbilaran, Palawan and Iloilo.

Overseas, the low-cost airline said travelers were keen on visiting Taipei and Narita.

“Filipinos look forward to taking a quick break, especially during the summer months, either going on a beach trip, reconnecting with loved-ones or simply heading home for Holy Week,” AirAsia Philippines communications and public affairs head Steve Dailisan said.

“[There’s] no stopping from making that memorable trip affordable and within reach,” Dailisan said.
