Bacolod Chapter president John Orola of SKAL International yesterday said the SKY Pasada program was launched yesterday in Bacolod City to bring in tourists from Boracay for leisure tours or sentimental journey, and pilgrimages guide.
SKY Pasada, the lone carrier that serviced Baguio City last year, will launch flights from Boracay to Bacolod on March 19, he said.
Orola, a former congressman of Bacolod and a Philippine attaché to Japan, said they hope to create new tour products for Negros Occidental and Bacolod City and introduce these places to travel agencies in the city and abroad. They will also meet with tour operators and tourist guides associations, he said.
He said, this is being endorsed by Bacolod Bishop Vicente Navarra and Fr. Felix Pasquin, rector of the San Sebastian Cathedral. He added thatthey want people to come to the city, not only during the MassKara Festival or Panaad Festival, but also during religious fiestas.
They also want to promote the shrines in Bacolod like the Parish of Our Lady of Fatima in Lopez Jaena-Sta. Ana streets and the Pope John Paul II Tower at the Reclamation Area, he added.*CGS
