Boracay's beaches are buzzing as the island welcomes a second cruise ship, showcasing its growing appeal as a destination for international travelers.

Boracay Island welcomed its second cruise ship of the year today, with the arrival of Norwegian Sky. The vessel, carrying approximately 2,200 passengers and 800 crew members, docked at the island's port, bringing a surge of tourism to the popular destination.

In partnership with the Province of Aklan, the LGU-Malay has mobilized concerned offices, response teams, and security agencies to ensure the safety and well-being of excursionists both on the island and in mainland Malay. The cruise ship is scheduled to depart on January 18, 2025.

The Malay-Boracay Tourism Office is actively promoting Boracay as a cruise destination, investing in infrastructure and services to cater to the unique needs of cruise passengers. This includes providing efficient port facilities, ensuring smooth disembarkation and embarkation processes, and offering a range of shore excursions and activities for tourists.

It might sound a little scary, but the number of deals happening in the global travel and tourism industry actually went down a bit in 2024. We're talking about a 4.3% drop compared to the year before, which might make you think things are slowing down. But hold on, the story is actually a lot more interesting than that!

It turns out, investors are actually getting more interested in taking big stakes in travel companies, not just small ones. We saw a 26.1% jump in big-money deals, like when a private equity firm buys a whole company. This shows investors are optimistic about the future of travel and want to be part of building it!

However, fewer investors are putting money into brand new travel companies right now. Those deals went down by 22.3%, maybe because everyone is a little unsure how things will shake out in the industry after the pandemic.

Europe, on the other hand, is a hot spot for travel deals. That region saw a 17% increase in deals in 2024. Guess people think Europe is a good place to put their money right now!

Some countries are really attracting investors, like the UK, India, and Japan. Deals in those countries went up quite a bit. It looks like they are becoming more popular for travel and businesses, so investors are excited to be a part of that growth.

But not all countries are doing as well. The US, China, and France actually saw a decline in travel deals. Maybe there are some specific challenges in those places that are making investors a little hesitant.

And then there are some countries, like South Korea and Australia, where the number of deals stayed pretty much the same. They seem to be holding steady even though things are a little up and down in other places.

So, even though overall travel deals took a small dip, it’s not all doom and gloom. The travel industry is changing quickly, and investors are being very careful about where they put their money. But the good news is, there are still lots of exciting opportunities in travel, both big and small!

Philippine Tourism Gets a Digital Boost as DOT Partners with Klook

The Philippines is ready to welcome more travelers with a new digital push that promises to connect tourists with the country's rich cultural and natural wonders.

The Department of Tourism - Philippines (DOT) and Klook Philippines have entered a strategic partnership to make travel experiences in the Philippines more accessible and to accelerate the digitalization of the tourism sector.

The collaboration will see Klook, a leading platform for travel experiences and services in Asia, offering a range of curated tour packages under the DOT's flagship Philippine Experience Program (PEP). This program, developed and launched under the Marcos administration, aims to reintroduce the Philippines to the world, highlighting its rich culture, heritage, and diverse experiences beyond traditional sun-and-beach destinations.

"With this partnership with Klook, the Philippine Experience Program will now be carried on the Klook platform," said Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco "The Philippine Experience Program is a flagship initiative of the Marcos administration, whereby we are translating the President's vision of reintroducing the Philippines to the world... carrying the Philippine Experience Program on Klook will also equalize tourism opportunities among our destinations, which is the advocacy of the Department of Tourism."

Klook's President and Co-Founder Eric Gnock Fah highlighted the potential of this collaboration: "At Klook, we believe there are countless adventures, unique experiences, and cultural treasures still waiting to be discovered. Here in the Philippines, with its stunning natural wonders and the warmth and vibrancy of its people, we are excited to partner with the Department of Tourism to bring even more of these incredible experiences to Filipinos and travelers around the world."

The partnership will offer a diverse selection of PEP tours on the Klook platform, including:

- Culture, Heritage & Arts Tour in Calabarzon where tourists can explore captivating Pagsanjan Falls and cultural landmarks like the Pinto Art Museum and Villa Escudero.

- Culture, Heritage & Adventure Tour in Bicol where tourists can embark on an ATV adventure to Mayon Volcano and sample the delicious Bicolano cuisine.

- Culture, Heritage & Arts Tour in the Ilocos Region where tourists can discover the Philippines’ Spanish colonial history in the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage City, interact with locals, and savor local specialties.

- Culture, Heritage & Arts Tour in Western Visayas where tourists can visit Silay City, renowned for its well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture and heritage houses, and enjoy fresh seafood, and

- Culture, Heritage & Arts Tour in Palawan where tourists can experience the beauty, history, and traditions of Palawan through the Palawan Special Battalion WW-II Memorial Museum, Binuatan Weaving Creation workshops, and the Butterfly Garden.

Beyond the PEP curated tours, the partnership aims to integrate the DOT's Tourist Rest Areas (TRAs) on Klook and explore further collaborations with Mactan-Cebu International Airport and Clark International Airport. Klook will also continue its regional roadshows to encourage more travel operators to utilize its platform and reach a global audience.

This move is set to make the Philippines more accessible and appealing to travelers, bringing the country's diverse offerings directly to their fingertips. It also marks another step in the DOT's efforts to promote responsible and sustainable tourism

At present, Klook has over half a million experiences on its platform, catering to over 2,700 destinations nationwide.

Step back in time to the 1980s with this captivating glimpse of Boracay!

The photo transports you to a simpler era, showcasing a pristine beach lined with charming thatched-roof huts. Palm trees sway gently in the breeze, their shadows dancing on the white sand where sunbathers relax. The crystal-clear, shallow water invites you to take a refreshing dip.

This isn't just a picture; it's a postcard from paradise, capturing the unspoiled beauty of Boracay before mass tourism. The film-like quality adds to the nostalgic charm, making you feel like you're right there, breathing in the salty air and soaking up the sun.
