Despite the scorching temperatures in the Philippines and neighboring countries, over 1.5 million AirAsia guests have secured seats for summer adventures, including beach resorts, island getaways, and cultural hotspots. Despite the heat index reaching 43°C, travelers continue to embrace the wanderlust spirit, showcasing the country’s vibrant tourism scene.

To ensure travelers maximize their summer escapades, AirAsia Philippines is offering some essential tips to beat the heat and create unforgettable moments:

  1. Opt for loose, lightweight clothing to stay cool and comfortable.
  2. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak sun hours (10AM to 4PM) and always carry sun protection like sunscreen, a hat, and an umbrella.
  3. Explore night markets and attractions to enjoy cooler evening temperatures.
  4. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and consider using a refillable water container to reduce plastic waste.
  5. Be vigilant for symptoms of heat exhaustion, including extreme fatigue, dizziness, headache, cold sweats, and rapid heartbeat. Travel insurance covering medical expenses is advisable for added peace of mind.

Steve Dailisan, AirAsia’s Head of Communications and Public Affairs and First Officer, emphasizes the importance of planning for safe and enjoyable travel experiences: “We understand the excitement of soaking up the sun and creating lifelong memories. By traveling responsibly and taking advantage of great deals on airfare and accommodations through airasia Move, travelers can ensure they have more to spend on experiences at their destination.”

Promoting responsible tourism extends beyond passengers to airline staff, who are committed to maintaining cleanliness both inside and outside the airport premises and aircraft. Dailisan highlights the significance of keeping aircraft clean: “As responsible tourists, it’s crucial to uphold cleanliness standards on board, which not only contributes to our commitment to providing affordable and punctual air travel but also saves time by reducing the need for extra cleaning between flights.”
