Boracay Island, a tourist destination in the Philippines, has been a popular Southeast Asian resort for domestic travelers even before COVID-19. It is famous for its emerald-colored sea, including the world’s top three beaches, White Beach, known for its fine white sand, and Puka Shell Beach, a well-known filming location for domestic commercials.

An Air Busan official said, “With the operation of irregular flights to Boracay, we aim to expand travel destination options, support the demand for Southeast Asia travel, and actively respond to the full-scale overseas travel demand.”
