Its proximity to the provinces of Negros, Bohol, and Leyte, among other destinations in Central Visayas, also makes it a convenient hub for travellers who intend to explore other destinations in the Philippines.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fernandes stressed the importance of improving hubs such as Mactan-Cebu International Airport and Manila International Airport to attract more tourists and help rebuild the tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I encourage the private enterprise to not just look at full-service but also at low-cost airports, which are cheaper to build and affordable for the public.&nbsp;It&#8217;s about building facilities that fit the public.&nbsp;People think about Bali and Phuket, but there are equally beautiful places here, and the service quality is great,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA, 11 August 2023: AirAsia Philippines will strengthen its Cebu hub with more connectivity to other destinations in the country and ASEAN.
