The Malay municipal tourism office reported that direct flights from East Asian countries are improving the tourism industry of the island paradise, Boracay. At least 83,731 foreign and local tourists visited the island last April and a total of 81,119 tourists both local and foreign for the month of May. The nearby Kalibo airport received direct flights from several Asian countries such as Korea and Taiwan.
East Asian countries such as China and Japan registered 9,334 tourists in April and 10,817 came in May. Some tourists also came from North America and Mexico with 1,293 arrivals in April and 1,324 in May. However, the majority of Boracay tourists are still composed Filipinos. There were 66,846 domestic tourists in April and 63,669 in May.
According to the ATO (Air Transportation Office), a direct flight from China via China Eastern Airlines was scheduled to land in Kalibo last June 30 but was canceled due to Typhoon “Frank.”

ReplyDeleteif ever you have plans for an aklan river expedition, perhaps starting somewhere in libacao then tracing it back to the source, please shoot me an email at npalfaro@gmail.com
Thanks sir. Are you from Aklan? Its one of my dreams to try to hike up to the source. But right now I'm taking up my masters degree in nursing, so I'm sort of busy. hehe
ReplyDeleteI saw some vids that Mayor Navarrosa took when they hiked around the hinterlands, the trek to Mt. Baloy was a bit difficult and took several days. They used the Calinog or the Dumalag route I think. hehe
