The success that is Boracay Regency

The triple A-rated resort Boracay Regency Beach Resort, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, is a symbol of topnotch hospitality in Boracay.

The hardworking Henann Group of Resorts team led by chairman Henry Chusuey, executive vice president Alfons Chusuey and marketing manager Karl Chusuey hosted a grand dinner party at the resort’s sprawling beachfront. The party was attended by noted personalities from the diplomatic, government and business circles including Korean Ambassador Hyuk Lee and wife Won Wan Soo, Romanian Ambassador Valeriu Gheorghe, Latvia Consul Bobby Joseph, Senate President Franklin Drilon, Sen. Cynthia Villar, Aklan Gov. Florencio Miraflores, Malay, Aklan Mayor John Yap and renowned architect Jun Palafox.

The event also had an exciting raffle draw with prizes consisting of resort accommodations at Boracay Regency, Boracay Garden Resort and Regency Lagoon Resort and round-trip tickets to Phuket and Seoul. Another anticipated part of the program was the awarding ceremony for the resort’s top producers.

Adding excitement to the evening’s festivities was the stellar performance of the one and only Concert Queen Pops Fernandez. A magnificent 15-minute fireworks display concluded the night.

Congratulations and more power to the whole Boracay Regency Beach Resort and Spa team! Here’s to more success in the future!
