MANILA — The operator of Philippine budget airline Cebu Pacific is spending heavily to tap into a post-pandemic rebound in travel demand that could be boosted by the prospect of overhauling an airport considered one of the world's worst.
Travelers are consistently eager to visit destinations like the white-sand beaches of El Nido in Palawan province, which are consistently ranked among the world's most beautiful. El Nido is an hour and a half flight from Manila on flights operated by AirSwift, part of the Ayala conglomerate.
