MANILA, Philippines – CNN’s Business Traveller heads to the Philippines where host Richard Quest discovers how the skyscrapers of Manila and the beaches of more than 7,000 islands make this country the perfect place to explore this evolving trend.
Highlights of January’s Business Traveller include Old City Tour, Floatplane Getaway and Your Own Private Island.
In Old City Tour, Richard joins Philippines Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez on a whirlwind tour of Intramuros, Manila’s oldest district and historic core, to get his take on bleisure, and the evolving business traveller and tourism markets.
Floatplane Getaway sees Richard climb on board one of Air Juan’s Cessna Grand Caravan Amphibians, for a 30-minute flight to Puerto Galera, one of the Philippines top diving destinations, avoiding what would normally be a six-hour trip by road and ferry.
In Your Own Private Island, the CNN team travels to Ariara, a private island escape. CNN meets British businessman Charles McCulloch and his wife who built the ultimate getaway for today’s harried business traveller.
Business Traveller airs on Jan. 14 at 5:30 p.m.; Jan. 15, 12:30 p.m.; and Jan. 16, 1:30.
