00:00At the same time as the inauguration of the inaugural flight of Mactan to Bantayan Islands in Cebu,

00:07tourists are now able to travel faster to see one of the best tourist destinations in Cebu.

00:14Let's take a look at the report of Jesse Atienza.

00:20This is the town of Santa Fe, located on the island of Bantayan.

00:25Tourists flock here because of the white sand beaches, extreme sports activities, and beautiful coral reefs.

00:33The island can be reached within 6 hours by land trip and road trip.

00:39But this hassle can be avoided.

00:42The flight from Mactan-Cebu International Airport to Bantayan was launched recently.

00:48The 6-hour travel time is 25 to 30 minutes.

00:54Bantayan Island can be reached by a commercial flight, an ATR aircraft with 72 seating capacity.

01:02Among the passengers on the inaugural flight, Alvin is a passenger and resident.

01:08He was happy because his return was fast.

01:12Sir, how was our flight?

01:15It was good, fast, convenient for us.

01:19So far, it was smooth.

01:21Yes, it was good. This is a dream come true for us local here.

01:25Not only tourists will benefit from the inauguration of the flight,

01:29the economy and tourism industry on the island will also improve.

01:33It took us exactly 35 or 36 minutes from takeoff to touchdown in Bantayan.

01:42And that, ladies and gentlemen, to me, is a game changer.

01:47It will change the landscape of Bantayan.

01:51It will drive the economy.

01:54It will boost tourism.

01:57And it will uplift the livelihoods of all Bantayanans.

02:03This flights from Mactan to Bantayan and vice versa.

02:12Accessibility is always key in improving and hoping to soar as a prime tourist destination.

02:28The less time it takes for domestic and international tourists, the better.

02:36And so we must support this.

02:39Twice a week, the Mactan to Bantayan flight costs P888 per way.

02:47From PTV Cebu, Jesse Atienza for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
