unique Airbnb Stays in the country, and travel with AirAsia to their bucket
list destinations. Get ready to discover home in a new light while exploring new cities and
hidden gems with your loved ones like never before.
“As
more Filipinos enjoy greater flexibility to work from anywhere, the blurring
lines between travel and living have led many to embrace remote work and more
spontaneous getaways with their loved ones. As travel rebounds, we are thrilled
to partner with AirAsia to offer this amazing once-in-a-lifetime adventure. We
know travel connects people and brings significant economic opportunities for
local communities, and we hope this contest ignites greater excitement and
appetite to rediscover home,” shares Amanpreet
Bajaj, Airbnb’s General Manager for Southeast Asia, India, Hong Kong and
Taiwan.
Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines’ Head
of Communications and Public Affairs,
notes, “The tourism industry of the Philippines boasts diversity and richness
across many facets – culture and heritage, scenic spots, exclusive adventures,
and culinary delights. These drivers position the Philippines as a viable
destination for travelers living a nomadic lifestyle away from the usual
metros. Digital nomads, barkadas, or families who have the liberty to travel
while keeping their grind must know that the Philippines is ready to welcome
them. We are glad to partner with Airbnb to underscore this very message.
