Philippines Hosts Routes Asia 2016

Philippines is set to host Routes Asia, the biggest strategy summit of route planners, gathering airlines, airports, and tourism and aviation officials, to plan their future destinations.

The hosting of this prestigious business event will allow the Philippines to showcase its destinations and soon-to-be inaugurated international airports in provincial cities such as Panglao in Bohol, Daraga in Albay, Caticlan and Kalibo in Aklan, and the expanded Clark International Airport and Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Existing international airports such as Manila, Davao, and Iloilo will also get their well-deserved attention.

As soon as these airports are opened, foreign travelers and Filipino workers abroad may now fly straight to their destinations, easing up foot traffic at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.

This year’s Routes Asia is the biggest summit so far, bringing in 100 airlines, 200 airports, 50 countries, and 1000 delegates. (DOT)
