Businesses and other tourism-oriented establishments in Kalibo would be deprived of their source of income, especially because they are relying on both domestic and international passengers at KIA, the provincial board said. | Philippine Daily Inquirer ...
According to Aklan’s provincial board members, introducing international flights to Boracay Airport would not only exacerbate the already congested condition of the airport but would also deprive the national government of the much-needed revenues to recoup what it spent for the already-existing Kalibo International Airport in the capital town.
“The opening of international flights at the Boracay Airport will derail the attainment of the provincial government of Aklan’s long-term plan for the wholistic, balanced, and inclusive growth of its local economy by strengthening the economic activities and the development of tourism within mainland Aklan,” read the provincial board’s Resolution No. 2022-289 which was approved on Dec. 13.
In a report on Bombo Radyo Kalibo last week, Provincial Board Member Jay Tejada said he was surprised when they were informed by the Bureau of Immigration to prepare for the inaugural flight of Royal Air from Taipei to Boracay Airport. Businesses such as hotels, transport services, restaurants, and other tourism-oriented establishments in Kalibo would be deprived of their source of income, especially because they are relying on both domestic and international passengers at KIA, it said.
