Spend the Holidays in A Beach Paradise at Discovery Shores Boracay and Club Paradise Palawan 4:37 pm
Christmas season is the most wonderful time of the year and 2020 is no exception. Now more than ever, everyone realizes that time spent with family and loved ones is definitely valuable. The Holidays is the perfect time to break free from the four walls of the home and celebrate togetherness by making lasting memories in a beach paradise.
This year, make
Club Paradise Palawan your HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. With expansive beachfronts, mesmerizing sunsets, refreshing sea breeze, powdery white sand and pristine waters, it’s a tropical escape that the whole family needs. Both resorts have festive culinary offers and Yuletide activities that will make you feel right at home.
Sunlight Express Airways, a new charter airline in the Philippines backed by a local hotel and resort company, aims to begin operations with three ATR 72-500s around Christmas.
CEO Ryna Brito tells
Smart Aviation APAC that the airline is working to receive its air operator certificate before Christmas, so it can launch operations around the festive season.
Brito says there is pent-up local demand for leisure travel and many Filipinos have, what she describes as, “COVID fatigue” following extended lockdowns. But capturing this demand requires convincing the Manila upper-middle class that travelling can be safe, especially on charter flights to island resorts where social distancing can be practiced, she adds.
